Round 4: Tossup 5

David Bohm theorized a guiding example of these phenomena in a namesake hidden-variable (15[1])theory. Envelopes of these phenomena, whose speed is measured by group velocity, (15[1])contain their namesake “packets.” A quantity (15[1])equal to Planck’s constant over momentum defines the “matter” type of these phenomena introduced by (15[1])Louis (*) de Broglie (10[1])(“duh BROY”). Quantum states are described by these phenomena’s “functions,” which are defined by the Schrödinger equation and experience collapse when observed. Light exhibits characteristics of both particles and these phenomena. For 10 points, lambda denotes the classical “length” between the peaks of what phenomena? ■END■
