**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Define Matter Waves and Electromagnetic Waves**: - Matter waves, also known as De Broglie waves, are associated with particles of matter. According to De Broglie's hypothesis, every moving particle has an associated wave, which can be described by its wavelength given by the formula \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \), where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. - Electromagnetic waves are waves that propagate through space and consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. 2. **Identify a Similarity**: - Both matter waves and electromagnetic waves can be described by wave equations. They exhibit wave-like behavior, such as interference and diffraction, and can be analyzed using similar mathematical frameworks. ...
