particle Compton wavelength
subject			fact

particle Compton wavelength	has equation h bar / mc, where h bar is Plancks constant, c is the speed of light, and m is the particle mass.
	has unit m
	has definition The wavelength of a photon containing the rest energy of a particular particle.
	is a kind of particle constant
	is a kind of length
particle constant	applies to particle
fundamental physical constant	has value changes in value are due solely to an increase in measurement accuracy or convention
	has accuracy
