The Two Types of Waves Involved in an Electron in a Hydrogen Atom

Published Aug 29, 2026• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Einstein’s energy-momentum relationship, holds when the energy absorbed by a body is all converted to kinetic energy of that body. However, an electron in an atom acquires kinetic energy through emission of photon energy. Therefore, Einstein’s relationship cannot be applied to an bound electron in an atom. The author has already derived an energy-momentum relationship for an electron in a hydrogen atom. This paper incorporates de Broglie’s formula into the above relationship previously derived by the author. Also, if the momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom is considered using an ellipse, it can be predicted that the electron has two types of momentum and two types of waves. This paper concludes that a moving electron has two types of waves.

Derivation of a Relativistic Wave Equation more Profound than Dirac’s Relativistic Wave Equation

Koshun Suto

The author has previously derived an energy-momentum relationship applicable in a hydrogen atom. Since this relationship is taken as a departure point, there is a similarity with the Dirac’s relativistic wave equation, but an equation more profound than the Dirac equation is derived. When determining the coefficients and β of the Dirac equation, Dirac assumed that the equation satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. The Klein-Gordon equation is an equation which quantizes Einstein's energy-momentum relationship. This paper derives an equation similar to the Klein-Gordon equation by quantizing the relationship between energy and momentum of the electron in a hydrogen atom. By looking to the Dirac equation, it is predicted that there is a relativistic wave equation which satisfies that equation, and its coefficients are determined. With the Dirac equation it is necessary to insert a term for potential energy into the equation when describing the state of the electron in a hydrogen atom. However, in this paper, a potential energy term is not introduced into the relativistic wave equation. Instead, potential energy is incorporated into the equation by changing the coefficient of the Dirac equation.

A Surprising Physical Quantity Involved in the Phase Velocity and Energy Levels of the Electron in a Hydrogen Atom

Koshun Suto

The phase velocity of a material wave is given by the following equation: If this formula is rewritten using the Planck-Einstein relation and the de Broglie formula , it becomes: Next, the values for E and p, obtained from a relation applicable to the electron in a hydrogen atom derived by the author, are substituted into this equation. When that is done, multiple formulas relating to the phase velocity of the electron wave are derived. These formulas contain still-unknown ultra-low energy levels of the hydrogen atom and electron orbital radii corresponding to those energy levels. also appear in the formula for energy levels of the hydrogen atom derived in this paper. This serves as grounds for the existence of ultra-low energy levels in addition to the already-known energy levels of the hydrogen atom.

Derivation of a Relativistic Quantum Condition Deeper Than the Classical Bohr Quantum Condition

Koshun Suto

Bohr assumed a quantum condition when deriving the energy levels of a hydrogen atom. However, this quantum condition was not a logically derived formula. The support of the de Broglie’s condition was necessary to give physical meaning to Bohr’s quantum condition. However, contemporary physics denies the existence of the waves which de Broglie thought actually existed. Since the theory of relativity are not taken into account in Bohr’s theory, the derived energy levels do not have the correct values. Thus, the author has previously proposed , a quantum condition superior to Bohr’s quantum condition. However, although this quantum condition was mathematically valid, it could not provide physical meaning. This paper has improved that point. When the ratio of the momentum vector of an electron moving inside a hydrogen atom and the momentum vector of the photon possessed by the electron satisfy a certain condition, the two are orthogonal. The condition for these two vectors to be orthogonal is the quantum condition derived in this paper. It is thought that the state where these two vectors are orthogonal is stable, and this state becomes the steady state of the hydrogen atom.

The Relationship Enfolded in Bohr’s Quantum Condition and a Previously Unknown Formula for Kinetic Energy

Koshun Suto

Bohr’s quantum condition is an indispensable assumption for classical quantum theory. However, strictly speaking, Bohr's quantum condition does not hold when deriving the energy of an electron forming a hydrogen atom from the perspective of the theory of relativity. In this paper, it is thought that the relationship enfolded in Bohr's quantum condition, i.e., is suitable as a new quantum condition to replace Bohr’s quantum condition. Also, in quantum mechanics, the energy of an electron is derived based on the theory of relativity, as exemplified in the theory of Sommerfeld. However, this paper points out that the previous energy formula based on the theory of relativity is mistaken. It also proposes a previously unknown formula for the kinetic energy of an electron.

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.

A Classical Approach to the De Broglie-Wave Based on Bohr’s H-Atom-Model

Thomas Allmendinger

The atom model of Niels Bohr is commonly considered as antiquated even if it describes the atomic spectrum of hydrogen quite accurately. The later published relation of Louis De Broglie could arithmetically be implemented into Bohr’s formulation, leading to the concept of standing waves as the existence cause of excited electron states. However, at that time it was not possible to find well defined electron trajectories being classically describable. As a consequence, the »quantum mechanics« were developed by several authors, particularly by Schrodinger and by Heisenberg, but delivering a hardly under¬standable formalism where the classical physical laws appear being abrogated while abstract terms replace concrete and imaginable ones, abandoning the particle perception of mass points. In particular, Heisenberg’s »uncertainty principle« and the assumption of state probabilities seem to be in a striking variance to the idea of standing waves. In contrast, a formulation is given here which exactly describes the electron trajectories in the exited states solely by applying classical physical laws. Firstly, the original Bohr-model - in combination with De Broglie’s relation - is rolled up. From this formula system a vibration frequency - corresponding to the De-Broglie frequency – is deduced which is n-times larger than the rotation frequency of the Bohr-model. Furthermore, a direct coherence between that vibration-frequency of the electron and the frequency of the involved light is evident being explainable as a resonance effect. Then, a three-dimensional model is proposed where the electron oscillates and pulses perpendicularly to a virtual rotation plane i.e. rotating around a vertical axis, accompanied by a perpetual energy exchange between potential and kinetic energy. This leads at the excited, metastable energy states to well-defined, three-dimensional and wavy trajectories winding up on a surface similar to the one of a hyperboloid, whereas at the ground state the trajectory is planar and stable.
