A moving electron exhibits wave-like property according to the dual nature of matter.
Electrons can interact with matter.
Photon:
Photon is the light particle. The energy of photons depends on the frequency of light.
The rest mass of the photon is zero but it has a non-zero mass when it moves, so it interacts with matter as well.
Interference and compton scattering are some of the phenomena exhibited by photons.
The speed of a photon depends on the medium through which it propagates.
