Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is moving with a constant velocity. [velocity, mass, momentum, wavelength, Planck's constant]

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

[tex]p = \frac{h}{\lambda}[/tex]

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

and[tex]p = \gamma\times mv [/tex]

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.
