Are matter waves electromagnetic?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electromagnetic waves are produced only by the accelerated charges. But matter waves are associated with every moving particle whether it is charged or not. So matter waves are not electromagnetic in nature. De-broglie wave equation is
`1/2 mv^2 = hv - hv_0`

What is the difference between matter waves and electromagnetic waves?

Distinguish between matter waves and electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic waves are those waves in which there are sinusoidal variations of electric and magnetic fields at right angle to each other as well as right angle to the direction of propagation. The ratio of electric vector and magnetic vector gives the velocity of light and vecExxvecB gives the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave. The electric and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave are

The ratio of electric vector and magnetic vector gives the velocity of light and vecExxvecB gives the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave. If vecE and vecB represent electric and magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is along.
