Waves associated with matter are known as matter waves or de Broglie’s ]]> 2020-03-03 07:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/trenuka_phy/sk72kpbyhrja/wish/453457260 Wave Particle dualism trenuka_phy https://padlet.com/trenuka_phy/sk72kpbyhrja/wish/453457710 Louis Victor de Broglie, a French physicist gave a hypothesis known as wave particle duality of matter. His idea was that, it's not just light but matter also has this dual personality. 
de Broglie’s Hypothesis of matter waves fetched him a Nobel prize in Physics.
