In 1983, Thornhill showed that Planck's energy distribution for a black-body radiation field could be derived for a gas-like aether with Maxwellian statistics. Further, it was shown that the frequency of electromagnetic waves correlates with the energy per unit mass of the particles, not with their energy, thus differing from Planck's quantum hypothesis. He pointed out that de Broglie, in a paper of 1922, was on the way to achieving this result but did not pursue the matter to its logical conclusion. Here a translation of de Broglie's paper is presented to draw attention to this point. Some brief additional comments are included also.
