Strongly influenced by the interpretation of the Compton effect, the French physicist Louis Victor, Prince de Broghe (1892-1987, 1929 Nobel laureate in Physics), suggested in his doctoral thesis in 1924 that the wave-particle duahty for photons could be extended to any particle of momentum p = mv which, somehow, would then have a wavelength - the de Broglie wavelength - associated with it and given by...

Louis Victor Pierre Raymond Due de Broglie (1892-1977). French physicist. Member of an old and noble family in France, he held the title of a prince. In his doctoral dissertation, he proposed that matter and radiation have the properties of both wave and particle. For diis work, de Broglie was awarded die Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929. 

For the first quarter-century after the discovery of the electron, it was taken for granted that the particle was a tiny, hard sphere. In 1923, however, Louis Victor, Prince de Broglie, a French physicist (1892- ), had presented theoretical reasons for... 

Louis-Victor Pierre Raymond de Broglie (1892-1987) was studying history at the Sorbonne, carefully preparing himself for a diplomatic career, which was a very natural pursuit for someone from a princely family, as he was. His older brother Maurice, a radiographer, aroused his interest in physics. World War I (Louis did military service in a radio communications unit) and the study of history delayed his start in physics.

X is the de Broglie wavelength (Louis Victor de Broglie, France, 1892-1987). The proportionality constant of this relation, h, is a fundamental constant of nature, Planck s constant (Max Planck, Germany, 1858-1947). The value of h is 6.626069 x 10" J s. 

Louis Victor de Broglie (1892-) extended the dual character of light (wave and corpuscular) to matter. In 1924 he proposed that an electron in motion (as in a Bohr orbit) had a wave associated with it. C. J. Davisson, L. H. Germer, and G. P. Thomson found experimental evidence for this wave nature of particles in 1927 (Holum 1969, p. 37).
