de Broglie hypothesis
If light has both wave and particle
properties, cannot matter also
have wave properties?
Special relativity implies: E 2 = p2 c2 + (mc2 )2
For a photon:
E = pc
Using the Planck relation: E = h = hc

Complementarity
Wave or particle? You decide! Depends on
how you look at the system
Wave nature of system can be observed when
performing a wave-like experiment
Particle nature of system is observed when
performing a particle-like (which-path)

Particle trajectory
x(t) =

Well-defined position
Wavelength (and therefore momentum)
undefined
In nature both wave and particle properties are present until you look!

Wavicles summary
Wave function describes de Broglie waves
(x, t) = A(x, t)ei (x,t)
Wave function describes probabilities where one
will find a particle
P (x)dx = | (x, t)|2 dx
Superposition key
Superposition of plane waves leads to localized
wavepackets
Measuring position collapses superposition
Complementarity Can only observe wave or particle
nature in a given experiment
