What are Matter Waves?

Matter waves, also called de Broglie waves, are the wave-like nature of all matter, including the atoms that make up your body. One of the first and most important findings of quantum physics is that electrons have a dual wave-particle nature. It soon became apparent that all matter has this dual nature, but because conventional matter has a high momentum relative to electrons, the wavelength of the matter waves is very small, and in most cases barely noticeable. For instance, the wavelength of the matter that makes up a person is on the order of 10−35 meters, far smaller than can be observed using current measurement technologies. The concept of matter waves was first elucidated by French physicist Louis de Broglie, who was extending early theories proposed by Albert Einstein, Max Planck, and Neils Bohr. Bohr primarily studied the quantum behavior of hydrogen atoms, whereas de Broglie tried to extend these ideas to determine a wavelength equation for all matter. De Broglie came up wit

Matter waves! Something different… Yes, De Broglie, one of the scientist discovered these matter waves. Light behaves like both wave as well as particle. This was verified by many experiments. If wave behaves like a particle in some aspects, why not the matter behaves like a wave? This idea was suggested by De Broglie and founded the matter waves. He found the wavelength of matter waves by using two equations. According to Planck’s quantum theory, E=hxf(h-planck’s constant, f-frequency of wave) ——–1 According to einstein’s relativity theory, E=mc^2 ——————–2 By solving 1 and 2, wavelength=h/mv or h/p He derived and got a nobel prize for this discovery.

One school of thought maintains that ALL things have vibrations (Matter does ’eminate’ gravity!) That ALL is connected, is accepted by most scholars. HOW it IS, is up for grabs. String theory is just a fancy way of saying each piece of the universe is a part of the whole! DUH! The effects of Gravity can be measured in laboratories. I don`t believe gravity is a wave because it has instant propagation.??!!! One can build an oscillator with a large capacitor (plates) 555 timer (well regulated temp & supply) as oscillator to track difference of Moons gravity!
