Developing de Broglie Wave
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 , 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 between walls in a one-dimensional box, superpose into a traveling beat wave of wavelength and phase velocity which resembles directly L. de Broglie's hypothetic phase wave. This phase wave in terms of transporting the particle mass at the speed and angular frequency , with and 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.
