The principle of relativity and the de Broglie relation

Abstract: The De Broglie relation is revisited in connection with an ab initio relativistic description of particles and waves, which was the same treatment that historically led to that famous relation. In the same context of the Minkowski four-vectors formalism, we also discuss the phase and the group velocity of a matter wave, explicitly showing that, under a Lorentz transformation, both transform as ordinary velocities. We show that such a transformation rule is a necessary condition for the covariance of the De Bro… Show more
