aineaaltoihin
Aineaaltoihin, often translated as matter waves, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It proposes that all matter, not just light, exhibits wave-like properties. This idea was first put forth by Louis de Broglie in 1924, who hypothesized that a particle with momentum p has an associated wavelength lambda, given by the equation lambda = h/p, where h is Planck's constant.
The de Broglie hypothesis was experimentally confirmed in 1927 by Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer, who observed
In everyday macroscopic objects, the momentum is so large that their de Broglie wavelength is incredibly small,
