The Compton wavelength, λC of a particle is equivalent to the wavelength of a photon whose energy is the same as the rest-mass energy of the particle.  

The Compton Wavelength is expressed in units of meters.

Notes

This constant is specified with a standard uncertainty (standard deviation) of: 0.0000000016E-12 m.

The Compton Wavelength of a particle is given as: λC=hm⋅c, where:

  • h = Planck's Constant
  • m = the particle's rest mass
  • c = the speed of light in a vacuum
