While reading a text book about basics of Quantum Mechanics, I came across a situation in which it is said that
E=ℏω and also
E=12mv2=p2/2m
where
h Planck's constant
ℏ=h2π Planck's reduced constant
ω=2πf angular frequency
m mass
v velocity
p momentum
But if I take the first definition,E=(h/2pi)*w,then
E=(h/2pi)*2*pi*f (because w=2*pi*f)
= h*f
= h*(v/λ) (because v=fλ)
= p*v (de-Broglie's wave-particle duality p=h/λ )
= mv*v (because p=m*v, the momentum)
E = m*v^2
This is not same as definition E=12mv2.
What am I missing in the derivation above?
