It is defined by de-Broglie a moving material molecule sometimes acts as a wave and sometimes as a particle.

The wave associated with moving particle is called matter wave or de-Broglie wave and it propagates in the form of wave packets with group velocity.

de-Broglie wavelength

According to de-Broglie theory, the wavelength of de-Broglie wave is given by

Where h = Plank's constant, m = Mass of the particle, v = Speed of the particle, E = Energy of the particle.

The smallest size of wavelength whose measurement is possible is that of -rays.

The wavelength of matter waves associated with the microscopic particles like electron, proton, neutron, a-particle etc. is of the range of 10-10m. 

(i) de-Broglie wavelength associated with the charged particles

The energy of a charged molecule accelerated through potential energy difference V is

(ii) de-Broglie wavelength associated with uncharged particles

For Neutron de-Broglie wavelength is defined as 693_Matter waves5.png

Energy of thermal neutrons at normal temperature

Characteristics of matter waves:

(i) Matter pulses are not electromagnetic in behavior.

(ii) Practical observation of matter waves is possible only when the de-Broglie wavelength is of the order of the size of the particles is nature.  

(iii) Electron microscope works on the part of de-Broglie waves.

(iv) The medium speed of the matter waves can be greater than the speed of the light.

(v)  The number of de-Broglie pulses related with nth orbital electron is n.

(vi) Only those circular orbits around the nucleus are stable whose circumference is integral multiple of de-Broglie wavelength associated with the orbital electron
