How do matter waves differ from a light wave as regards the velocity of the particle and the wave?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 4th Jun, 2014, 01:23: PM
Expert Answer:
In case of matter waves, the wave velocity is different from particle velocity. But in case of light (i.e. electromagnetic wave) the particle (photon) velocity is the same as wave velocity.
