Abstract

In this paper we prove, by expressing the energy as a function of the wave propagation speed, it is highlighted the existence of an equivalent mass of the wave, as well as of an Einstein type relations between the energy and this mass. Also, we establish a relation between angular frequency and energy similar to that of the Planck relation. For the propagating wave, there is a de Broglie type relationship between the linear momentum and the action variable (the angular momentum), i.e. the wave linear momentum is proportional to the wave number, the proportionality coefficient being the action.

Planck-Einstein-de Broglie relations for wave packet: the acoustic world

In this paper we study the relations of Planck-Einstein-de Broglie type for the wave packets. We assume that the wave packet is a possible model of particle . When studying the behaviour of the wave packet for standing waves, in relation to an accelerated observer (i.e. Rindler observer), there can be demonstrated that the equivalent mass of the packet is the inertial mass. In our scenario, the waves and of the wave packets are depicted by the strain induced/produced in the medium. The properties of the waves, of the wave packet and, generally, of the perturbations in a material medium suggest the existence of an acoustic world. The acoustic world has mechanical and thermodynamical properties. The perturbations that are generated and propagated in the medium are correlated by means of acoustic waves with maximum speed. The observers of this world of disturbances (namely the acoustic world) have senses that are based on the perception of mechanical waves (disturbance of any kind) and apparatus for detecting and acquiring information by means of the same type of wave. Time and length measurements (and other parameters) are correlated by Lorentz type transformations, where the maximum speed is the speed of the sound waves. By applying these transformations to the packet of standing waves, there results that the energy, mass, linear momentum and the action variable/variable action undergo relativistic changes. We highlight the fact that the dynamic relativist relationship between energy and momentum is a consequence of the wave packet model for a particle. We have also emphasized the existence of certain limits for the energy of the disturbance and the corresponding action variable.

Relativistic Derivations of de Broglie and Planck-Einstein Equations

Fabrizio Logiurato

Special Relativity sets tight constraints on the form of the possible relations between the four-momentum of a particle and the wave four-vector. In fact, we demonstrate that there is just one way, according to Special Relativity, to relate the energy and the momentum of a corpuscle with the characteristics of a plane wave, frequency and wave vector, if the momentum has to flow in the same direction of the wave propagation: the laws must be of direct proportionality like de Broglie and Planck-Einstein equations.

Relativistic Derivations of de Broglie and Planck-Einstein Equations

Fabrizio Logiurato

We show how Special Relativity sets tight constraints on the form of possible relations that may exist between the four-momentum of a particle and the wave four-vector. More specifically, we demonstrate that there is just one way, according to Special Relativity, to relate the finite energy and momentum of a corpuscle with the characteristics of a plane wave, frequency, wave vector and amplitude: that is by laws of direct proportionality like de Broglie equation and Planck-Einstein equation.

De Broglie’s Derivation of λ = h/p

Jim Baggott

Whatever was going to replace classical physics in the description of radiation and atomic phenomena had to confront the difficult task of somehow reconciling the wave-like and particle-like aspects of light in a single structure. An important clue would come from Einstein’s E=mc2. We tend to want to associate mass (and linear momentum) with material particles. But the Planck–Einstein relation E=hν connects energy with frequency, a determinedly wave-like property. So, here are two very simple yet fundamental equations connecting energy to mass and energy to frequency. Can they be combined? Louis de Broglie thought so, and in 1923 he generalized the discovery made by Einstein in 1905 by extending it to all material particles, and most notably to electrons. The de Broglie relation λ=h/p can be derived quite straightforwardly by comparing the Lorentz transformations for energy and momentum with those for a system of plane waves.

Einstein-De Broglie relations on the lattice

Miguel Lorente

Historically the starting point of wave mechanics is the Planck and Einstein-de Broglie relations for the energy and momentum of a particle, where the momentum is connected to the group velocity of the wave packet. We translate the arguments given by de Broglie to the case of a wave defined on the grid points of a space-time lattice and explore the physical consequences such as integral period, wave length, discrete energy, momentum and rest mass.

Wave Mechanics

Keith Hannabuss

Abstract According to Planck and Einstein the energy and frequency of light are related by E = ђw. De Broglie observed that to be consistent with the theory of relativity the momentum p of a wave should be ђk where k is the wave vector of magnitude 2π /wavelength, perpendicular to the wave front. (This is because the special theory of relativity combines E and p and also ω and k into four-dimensional vectors, and linear relations between particular components force the same relations for all other components as well. This is explained in more detail in Section 17.1, which is independent of the rest of the book.)
