Question
Are matter waves electromagnetic?
Open in App
Solution
No, matter waves are not physical waves. They have phase velocity greater than the speed of light. They move with group velocity. This is the same velocity by which an electron moves too.
Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of light. They have phase as well as group velocity both equal to the speed of light.
