The waves associated with moving particles are called:
AWater waves
BRadio waves
CMatter waves
DSound waves
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Matter waves
1. A moving particle carries a wavelength of its own.
2. That wave belongs to the particle, not to a field.
3. Such waves are called matter waves.
4. So the answer is matter waves.
