Developing de Broglie Wave

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The electromagnetic component waves, comprising together with their generating oscillatory massless charge a material particle, will be Doppler shifted when the charge hence particle is in motion, with a velocity vv, as a mere mechanical consequence of the source motion. We illustrate here that two such component waves generated in opposite directions and propagating at speed cc between walls in a one-dimensional box, superpose into a traveling beat wave of wavelength \mitΛd{\mit\Lambda}_d=(vc)\mitΛ=(\frac{v}{c}){\mit\Lambda} and phase velocity c2/v+vc^2/v+v which resembles directly L. de Broglie's hypothetic phase wave. This phase wave in terms of transporting the particle mass at the speed vv and angular frequency \mitΩd=2πv/\mitΛd{\mit\Omega}_d=2\pi v /{\mit\Lambda}_d, with \mitΛd{\mit\Lambda}_d and \mitΩd{\mit\Omega}_d obeying the de Broglie relations, represents a de Broglie wave. The standing-wave function of the de Broglie (phase) wave and its variables for particle dynamics in small geometries are equivalent to the eigen-state solutions to Schr\"odinger equation of an identical system.
