Relativistic de Broglie Frequency by Velocity
The de Broglie frequency is the frequency associated with a massive particle in motion according to quantum mechanics, accounting for relativistic effects.
The de Broglie frequency is proportional to the mass divided by the square root of 1 minus the square of the ratio between the velocity and the speed of light.
