The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding De Broglie's Hypothesis**: - De Broglie proposed that all matter has wave-like properties. This means that not only light exhibits wave characteristics, but all particles do as well. 2. **De Broglie Wavelength Formula**: - The relationship between the wavelength (λ) and momentum (p) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] - Where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. 3. **Momentum Definition**: - The momentum \( p \) of a particle is defined as: \[ p = mv \] - Here, \( m \) is the mass of the particle and \( v \) is its velocity. 4. **Application to Different Particles**: - Since the formula involves mass and velocity, it indicates that any particle with mass that is in motion will have an associated de Broglie wavelength. - This includes all matter particles, whether they are neutral (like neutrons) or charged (like electrons). 5. **Observations Based on Mass**: - For particles with a large mass (like humans), the de Broglie wavelength is very small and not observable. - For subatomic particles (like electrons and protons), which have much smaller mass, the de Broglie wavelength is significant and can be observed. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, according to de Broglie, waves are associated with **all moving matter particles**. ### Final Answer: According to De-Broglie, the waves are associated with **all moving matter particles**. ---
