Difference Between de Broglie's Matter Waves and Electromagnetic Wave

Main difference are given below:
  • de Broglie's matter waves are not radiated into empty space or emitted by oscillating particles i.e. they are never dissociated from the particle but remain attached to the particle. On the other hand the electromagnetic waves (i.e. radiations) can be absorbed or emitted.
  • de Broglie's matter waves travel with speeds which depend on the nature of the matter particles while electromagnetic waves proceed with the speed of light.
  • de Broglie's matter waves are not electromagnetic in nature.
