Abstract

In this note we assume that all particles have wave properties and hence must exhibit a Doppler shift when they reflect from a massive slowly receding mirror. We then show that particles must satisfy the de Broglie relation.

Assuming particles possess wave properties, the de Broglie relation is derived by considering elastic reflection from a slowly moving massive mirror.

Doppler Shift of the de Broglie Waves- Some New Results from Very Old Concepts

Sanchari De, Somenath Chakrabarty A

The Doppler shift of de Broglie wave is obtained for fermions and massive bosons using the conventional form of Lorentz transformations for momentum and energy of the particles. A formalism is developed to obtain the variation of wave length for de Broglie waves with temperature for individual particles using the classic idea of Wien in a many body Fermi gas or massive Bose gas.
