de Broglie Waves
In 1924 a young physicist, de Broglie, speculated that nature did not single out light as being the only matter which exhibits a wave-particle duality. He proposed that ordinary ``particles'' such as electrons, protons, or bowling balls could also exhibit wave characteristics in certain circumstances. Quantitatively, he associated a wavelength to a particle of mass m moving at speed
v :
= . (10)


Since the momentum of such a particle is p = mv , mathematically this relation is equivalent to Eq.(27.8) for the momentum of a photon in Compton scattering. However, we should emphasize that these two equations have a very different physical content.

Tests of this hypothesis would involve demonstrating wave properties of matter at the wavelength given by Eq.(27.10). Relatively straightforward tests are offered by diffraction and interference - if a beam of such ``particles'' were shone at a diffraction grating and a diffraction pattern of a series of light and dark fringes results, then one would be forced to adopt the wave picture for this phenomena. We recall that for a good diffraction pattern to result the size of the diffraction slits should be of the same order as the wavelength of the light used. As we shall see in some examples later, for macroscopic objects such as bowling balls this would require sizes of slits of the order of 10- 34 m or so, which is much outside present-day technology. However, for electrons the sizes of slits required are of the order of 10- 11 m or so, which are readily available. Thus, it is possible to verify the wave nature of electrons in such diffraction experiments, and indeed this property is the principle behind the relatively common electron microscope. Therefore, Nature seems to be symmetric, in that light and ordinary ``particles'' exhibits this wave-particle duality.

huh. I just figured someones keyboard got stuck after a sticky encounter

/nod {Yes, Please} he must have some gooood stuff@!!!
and to everyone that keeps this flame stuff goin on (STFU)
Heheh i lubs everyone!

I thought a "nub" was that thing your boyfriend gives you to suck on. Oops.

Barchiel +1... very nice on that nub comment lol.

Actually Ace, they do. They took me from a 3.18 rating, down to my current rating in a week. They will Karma camp you until no end if they don't like you.

It is not so much wanting to have Scholar status or above, but the fact is when your Karma gets too low if just one person does not like a post of yours, or if you have someone camping you, they alone can rate you to sub-default, wether your post is a good one or not.

i think i might invest in a shirt from jinx.com..

"thank you for NOT camping"...

I don't have enough wit and charm to play in the asylum. Or a cool avatar pic.

Edit: I can't spell the word asylum.

The fact is crayola does this for herself. If you remeber her post clearly the first sentence and last sentence were the only things that asked about a ls the rest was a flame on hero. Crayola is a drama queen you can't candy coat it. Example: You can't rap dog **** in rapping paper and call it decent. It still stinks and is in fact crap. Another thing is she flames and spams in jeuno.
You can't say all these people who dislike her have no reason. It makes no sense, she obviously has personal problems that she spews on the server like vomit. I keep up on some ls forums and the first time crayola was denied from hero she threw a giagantic hissy fit called them all jerks and said she was blisting the whole ls. Then tried to cover it up by saying she was joking and she was being sponsered. When she was booted from the ls all she did was spam in jeuno. You can't expect respect if you act like a moron, throwing baby fits and what not.

I don't think she should not be able to post but I do think she should not be able to post flames. The mods should know by now she's a drama queen and it obviously wont stop EVER. She tries to even cover up on this post she said she was "just looking for another ls" but she wasn't she was trying to create hate out of self pitty, angry feelings, and bi-polar actions. Crayola try this, think before you say.

Don't try to double talk, hippocrat, or two face your way out of it. Just accept what you do take your own responsiblilty. There is no one else to blame for your actions but you. Deal with your own creation.

That's because you're an idiot. Do these nice people a favor and link all of the inane, insipid drivel that you wasted our life with.
