The de Broglie wave is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that describes the wave-particle duality of waves.
Mathematically, it is represented by the following equation:
Where:
• ψ(x,t) is the wave function, a mathematical description of the wave.
• k is the wave number, describing the wave's wave number (or wave vector).
• f is the frequency of the wave, in hertz (Hz).
• ct is the time, in seconds.
