He postulated - that the wavelength of objects was given by $\lambda = h/p$, where where $h$ is Planck's constant, and $p = + that the wavelength of objects was given by $\lambda = h/p$, where $h$ is Planck's constant, and $p = mv$ is the momentum. {\it This was quite a revolutionary idea}, since there was no evidence at the time that matter behaved like waves.
