- This is related to moving particles and is independent of the fact whether particle is charged or neutral.
- Matter waves travel with speed more than that of light. As a fact, matter waves travel with the body in a group. Group velocity is the velocity of the body, whereas the individual wave constituting the group may theoretically move with speed greater than that of light.
- It is very small, hence can be ignored.
- The wave and particle nature are mutually exclusive.
- The square of the amplitude of de Broglie wave at any point is proportional to the probability of finding the particle at that point.
