<para id="fs-id1163712336118">According to de Broglie’s hypothesis, massless photons as well as massive particles must satisfy one common set of relations that connect the energy <emphasis effect="italics">E</emphasis> with the frequency <emphasis effect="italics">f</emphasis>, and the linear momentum <emphasis effect="italics">p</emphasis> with the wavelength <m:math><m:mi>λ</m:mi><m:mo>.</m:mo></m:math> We have discussed these relations for photons in the context of Compton’s effect. We are recalling them now in a more general context. Any particle that has energy and momentum is a <term id="term-00004">de Broglie wave</term> of frequency <emphasis effect="italics">f</emphasis> and wavelength <m:math><m:mi>λ</m:mi><m:mo>:</m:mo></m:math></para>Referencing norms: DeBroglieWavelengthFromMomentum, ObservedWaveAgreesWithMomentum

The hash beside the text is the sha256 of its exact bytes. It is the check that the text shown matches the one pinned in the package: a divergence fails the oracle’s static analysis.
