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.
