(ii) 1. Louis de Broglie extended the concept of dual nature oflight to all forms of matter. To QUANTIFY this relation, he derived an equation for the wavelength of a matter wave. 2. He combined the following two equations of energy of which ONE represents wave character (hu) and the other represents the particle nature `(mc^2)` . Planck.s quantum hypothesis:.
E = hv .............. (1) Einsteins MASS-energy relationship
`E=mc^2` ......... (2)
From (1) and (2)
