Examination of properties

The existence of undular properties of substance was revealed at observation of patterns of a diffraction of beams of particles. Legible patterns of an interference and the diffractions give bundles of electrons, which have almost identical impulses. These patterns are very similar to optical patterns of an interference and diffraction.
At change of quantity of a momentum of electrons and measuring of a wave length, it is possible to receive a relation between these quantities. It has appeared equal to a known relation

This de Broglie's relation is valid for any kind of particles. The undular properties of particles were detected at observation of a pattern of the diffraction of the bundle of electrons on chips. At measuring a scattering angle it is possible to spot a wave length of electrons. Thus, at known quantity of potential, which was utilised for acceleration of a bundle of electrons, their velocity is possible to calculate, and then to receive independent value of a wave length of an electron. The value of a wave length of an electron, which was spotted in such a way, completely coincides with quantity of a wave length, which is found from a diffraction pattern.
The undular properties of electrons also were detected in experience with a cathode rays at major velocity, which was passed through a thin metal foil on a photographic plate. After development of a photoplate on it the diffraction pattern from rings of different intensity was visible. However this diffraction pattern was stipulated not by Roentgen rays, which could arise at a concussion of high-velocity electrons with metal. It confirms presence of a stream of charged particles.
