Matter (deBroglie) waves is a concept and it's existence is not confirmed (?)..that said,
We know that - The de Broglie equations relate the wavelength λ to the momentum p, and frequency f to the total energy E (including its rest energy) of a particle
how closely do the properties of matter waves mirror that of the particle?
Let's take 1) photon 2) electron 3) Neutrino
we know a photon passes through a transparent object but it blocked by a opaque object.
the matter waves of a photon behave the same way.
an electron carries a charge and is effected by electro-magnetic fields, does it's matter wave behave differently?
a neutrino can pass through an opaque object/earth, what about its matter wave?
thus would the (properties of) matter waves of a photon differ from those of an electron and both differ from those of a Neutrino?
