times the kinetic energy of particle.

Expert Answer:
The concept of matter waves was put forward by de Broglie in his PhD thesis in 1924.
He proposed that just as light has both wave-like and particle-like properties, electrons (matter) also have wave-like properties.
He thought that just as wave and corpuscular properties exist for photons, it should exist for matter too.
This led him to propose the theory of matter waves.
