According to the de Broglie hypothesis, matter behaves like a wave. In this model, the

wavelength is associated with a particle that has momentum:

Where is the Planck constant, is the momentum of the particle, is the mass and is the velocity of the particle in question.

This is a fundamental finding in quantum mechanics.
