De Broglie Wavelength Equation Calculator

Enter the mass, velocity, and plank’s constant into the calculator to calculate the De Broglie Wavelength.

De Broglie Wavelength Formula

The following equation is used to calculate a de broglie wavelength.

L = h / (m*v)

Where L is the wavelength
h is Plank’s constant (6.6262 X 10 & -34 Js)
m is the mass (grams)
v is the velocity (m/s)

De Broglie Wavelength Definition

A De Brolie wavelength is a law that states all matter exhibits wave-like behavior and therefore you can calculate the wavelength using the equation.

De Broglie Wavelength Example

How to calculate De Broglie Wavelength?

First, determine the mass.
