The 11 pages that link to Matter wave, each with the reason it gives.

• Electromagnetic radiationCompared with: Matter waves describe quantum particles, while electromagnetic radiation consists of excitations of the electromagnetic field.

• Erwin SchrödingerNarrower topic: De Broglie’s proposal that particles have wavelengths prompted Schrödinger to seek a wave equation for matter.

• Louis de BroglieBroader topic: This is the wave-like aspect of matter that de Broglie proposed.

• De Broglie wavelengthNarrower topic: The de Broglie wavelength is a defining property of matter waves.

• Atom interferometryNarrower topic: Atoms behave as matter waves, so separated paths can later interfere.

• Wave mechanicsNarrower topic: The proposal that particles have wavelengths motivated a wave-based quantum theory.

• Clinton DavissonRelated: The diffraction pattern showed that electrons behave as matter waves.

• Lester GermerNarrower topic: Electron diffraction provided direct evidence for this broader quantum-mechanical idea.

• Free particleRelated: Free-particle wavefunctions make matter-wave behavior explicit.

• Mechanical waveCompared with: It is not a disturbance traveling through a material medium.

• De Broglie equationNarrower topic: The equation quantifies the wavelength assigned to moving matter.
