Answer:

Matter waves are a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics, being an example of wave–particle duality. All matter can exhibit wave-like behavior. For example, a beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light or a water wave.

Electromagnetic waves are very much different from the matter waves and in many ways.

a) Speed of matter waves is very much less than the speed of electromagnetic waves.

b) Matter waves cannot be radiated in empty space unlike electromagnetic waves.

c) Matter waves are just associated with the particle, not emitted by it

Matter waves have smaller wave lengths than electromagnetic waves
