Open in App
Solution

  • Any matter moving with high velocity behaves like a wave and called matter wave but electromagnet waves are not matter at all, They are just oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
  • Electromagnetic waves travel with higher speed than matter waves.
  • Electromagnetic waves do not need any medium to travel but matter waves do.
  • Electromagnetic waves are emitted by the matter while matter waves are associated with matter.
  • Matter waves have smaller wavelength than electromagnetic waves.
