Relativistic nature of the Schroedinger equation
Description
The phase velocity of the free particle wavefunction is often presented as having two values, one associated with the relativistic expression for the energy and the other with the non-relativistic expression. The assumption is that the difference between these two is indistinguishable. It is shown that one of these phase velocities is inconsistent with experimental evidence. (orig.)
