Q)

The energy and momentum of an electron are related to the frequency and wave length of the associated matter wave by the relation $E= h \gamma,P=\large\frac{h}{\lambda}$ But while the value of $\lambda $ is physically significant the value of $\gamma$ (and therefore the value of phone speed ) has no physical significance why ?

$\begin{array}{1 1} \text{Since the de- Broglie wave length has a fixed value } \lambda \text{has a physcial significance} \\ \text{Absolute value of energy E of any particle is arbitrary to with in an additive constant. So frequency has no direct physical meaning } \\ \text{Absolute value of energy E of any particle has a direct physical meaning } \\ \text{ All the above } \end{array} $
