de Broglie Wavelength
Considers an atom behaving as a wave rather than a particle.
The effective wavelength of a particle would be inversely proportional to its momentum, where the constant of proportionality is the Planck constant.
Where
h = Plancks constant = 6.63x10-34Js
m = mass [kg]
v = speed [ms-1]
