Round 4: Tossup 5

David Bohm theorized a guiding example of these phenomena in a namesake hidden-variable theory. Envelopes of these phenomena, whose speed is measured by group velocity, contain their namesake “packets.” A quantity equal to Planck’s constant over momentum (-5[1])defines the “matter” type of these phenomena introduced by Louis (*) de Broglie (“duh BROY”). Quantum states are described by these phenomena’s “functions,” which are defined by the Schrödinger equation and experience collapse (10[1])when observed. Light exhibits characteristics of both particles and (10[1])these phenomena. (10[1])For 10 points, lambda denotes the classical “length” between the peaks of what phenomena? ■END■ (10[2])
