Abstract
L. DE BROGLIE (Phil. Mag., Feb. 1924) has recently suggested a theory of the quantum in which the quantum is supposed to be a corpuscle of exceedingly small rest mass M which moves with a velocity c, where is less than unity by an exceedingly small amount. The momentum of such a corpuscle is Mc/1 2, and is equal to that of the light quantum hv/c. Since is so nearly unity, the momentum may be written as Mc/1 2. Different values of the frequency v are explained as being due to different values of.
