Photons vs Electrons

Postby Avantika MOhan_2B » Sun Dec 10, 2023 1:40 pm

When calculating de broglie wavelength - can we do so for photons?

De Broglie's is typically used for electrons and protons, I do not think you use it for photons, rather you'd use speed of light and frequency to find wavelength.

While we can’t use the De Broglie wavelength calculation, photons are characterized by the wavelength, frequency, and energy.
