Compton Wavelength
The Compton Wavelength is the wavelength associated with the mass of any particle, given by λ = h / mc, where h is Plancks constant, m is the mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.
| Particle | Compton Wavelength (m) | |
| electron | 2.426310215×10-12m | |
| muon | 11.73444197×10-15m | |
| neutron | 1.319590898×10-15m | |
| proton | 1.321409847×10-15m |
