In the case of a circular path, n=1
h=2πaψ.mv
ℏ=h2π=aψ.mv
in this case aψ is parallel to x, but perpendicular to λ,
When n=2,
Δs=√a2ψsin2(2θ)(Δθ)2+a2ψcos2(2θ)(Δθ)2
Δs=aψΔθ√sin2(2θ)+cos2(2θ)
Δs=aψΔθ
s=2∫π0aψdθ=2πaψ
Strangely both paths have the same length. In fact,
Δs=√a2ψsin2(nθ)(Δθ)2+a2ψcos2(nθ)(Δθ)2
Δs=aψΔθ√sin2(nθ)+cos2(nθ)
Δs=aψΔθ
Which means,
ℏ=aψ.mv
is valid for all n. The path length being the same for all n also means that for all n, given a constant velocity at light speed, the period, T to traverse all paths is the same, hence, ψ has only one fundamental frequency, fn=1.
fn=1=1T
This is consistent with the fact that,
p=mc and E=mc2
which are both constants, independent of n. The amplitude of the wave changes such that the energy of the wave is fully defined by,
E=hfn=1 --- (*)
For all cases of n,
c=nfn=1.λn=1n=fn=1.λn=1
Both p and E remain constant. In this scenario where n wavelengths are packed into a perimeter of 2πaψ all harmonics generated has the same energy given by (*).
The paths for n=1 and n=2 and the reference circle is generated using the following code in Scilab.
t = 0:0.01:(2.0*%pi);
x = 3*cos(t);
y = 3*sin(t);
z = 10*0.2*sin(t.*2);
param3d(x,y,z,45,60,"",[2,0]);
p=get("hdl"); //get handle on current entity (here the polyline entity)
p.foreground=2;
t = 0:0.01:(2.0*%pi);
x = 3*cos(t);
y = 3*sin(t);
z = 10*0.2*sin(t.*1);
param3d(x,y,z,45,60,"",[2,0]);
p=get("hdl"); //get handle on current entity (here the polyline entity)
p.foreground=5;
t = 0:0.01:(2.0*%pi);
x = 3*cos(t);
y = 3*sin(t);
z = 0.000002*sin(t.*1);
param3d(x,y,z,45,60,"",[2,0]);
p=get("hdl"); //get handle on current entity (here the polyline entity)
p.foreground=1;
Have a nice day.
