In 1926 Erwin Schrödinger based his wave mechanical theory on de Broglies views, namely that every particle is associated with a wave, and the wave length (lambda) is related to the mechanical momentum (mv) by the equation lambda = h/mv where h is Planck's constant

 Prince Louis-Victor Pierre Raymond de Broglie was awarded the 1929 Nobel prize "for his discovery of the wave nature of electrons"
