MCQ
Matter waves are:
- AElectromagnetic waves
- BMechanical waves
- CEither mechanical or electromagnetic waves
- ✓Neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves
Matter waves are waves associated with every moving particle and therefore are neither mechanical nor electromagnetic waves.
These waves have
$\lambda = h \times p$
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.
