Question:
Write True or False:
De-broglie waves are an electromagnetic wave.
Write True or False:
De-broglie waves are an electromagnetic wave.
De-broglie waves are an electromagnetic wave.
Show Hint
De Broglie waves are associated with particles, and their wavelength is given by \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \), where \( p \) is momentum and \( h \) is Planck's constant.

- True
- False
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
De Broglie waves refer to the wave-like behavior of particles, and they are not electromagnetic waves. These waves are related to matter, unlike electromagnetic waves, which are related to electric and magnetic fields.
