Download PDFWave particle duality is one of the most fundamental ideas that involves in the development of quantum mechanics. Louis de Broglie derived wave particle duality relation using spacial relativity theory and wave mechanics. In this article wave nature of a moving particle is investigated and explained using Newtonian mechanics only. It is observed that in this universe even a fully symmetric and spin free particle may move in a linear motion only in a force-field free region. Using Newtonian mechanics a relation between wave length and momentum of a moving particle is obtained which is equivalent to de Broglie's relation. But, proportionality constant, b, used in present relation, depends on force-field and spin moment of the moving particle. Wave length of a moving particle according to the present theory may be equivalent to de Broglie's wave length or may be a correction term to de Broglie's wave length due to field perturbation, is a matter of debate.
