Answer
- Neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves
Explanation:
Matter waves are waves associated with every moving particle and therefore are neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves.
These waves have
$\lambda$ = h × p
Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, h is plank's constant, and p is the particle’s moment.
Therefore, matter waves are neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves.
