Smyk, A. F. (Author)
French physicist Louis de Broglie belongs to the cohort of great scientists who created quantum mechanics. This article traces the development of his wave conception of matter, which provided the basis for the subsequent development of wave mechanics and was recognized with the 1929 Nobel Prize. A number of key factors influenced the development of de Broglie's thought on wave-particle duality, including the French tradition in science, Hamilton's opto-mechanical analogy, Einstein's hypothesis of light quanta, the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model, and experimental investigations into the nature of X-rays.
