==Abstract==

A simple covariant derivation of the de Broglie relations breaks down when one considers propagation of light in an anisotropic medium. This breakdown results in two distasteful conclusions. The first is that the de Broglie relations are not completely universal and their covariance is restricted. The second is that wave-particle duality is not universal. In this paper a resolution of these problems is suggested, a resolution that is an extrapolation of ideas of de Broglie and Andrade e Silva. The relations are generalized for propagation in anisotropic media by defining a new phase wave with wave vector <img border="0" alt="1-vector" align="bottom" src="http://physicsessays.aip.org/servlet/GetImg?key=PHESEM000001000002000102000001%3A0%3A0%3A28&t=a&d=a" /> ''in the direction of energy transport and distinct from the conventional electromagnetic wave. The introduction of'' <img border="0" alt="1-vector" align="bottom" src="http://physicsessays.aip.org/servlet/GetImg?key=PHESEM000001000002000102000001%3A0%3A0%3A28&t=a&d=a" /> ''follows the method by which de Broglie associated a wave with an electron.
