Relating the deBroglie and Compton Wavelengths to the Velocity of Light?

Abstract

No report in the literature has directly described this relation. New constants for particles are presented. One relates to the Compton wavelength, called here the “mass-wave” constant for all particles. The other relates to the deBroglie wavelength, called here the “velocity-wave” constant for a particle. An equation is derived based on these two constants encapsulating a fundamental relation between the matter-states, particle and wave, to the velocity of light. New approaches to the Uncertainty relations are shown. The basic Schrodinger equation is derived from the perspective of a non-dimensional second-order differential equation free of any assumed empirical constants. The resulting time-dependent wave equation for a free particle was then expressed in terms of the particle velocity and deBroglie wavelength.
