Generalized momentum equation of quantum mechanics
Abstract
Like the Planck–Einstein relation E = ℏω, de Broglie's p=ħk is another fundamental equation but the universal momentum formulation should be p=ħβ. We propose the compelling evidence (vacuum Cherenkov radiation) and a new consequence which could lead to experimental checks is also worked out.
