Does the particle wave duality create unique signatures...

I know how the particle duality works, but does the duality create its unique pattern. I want to argue no because one can obtain the same momentum with different velocities or mass.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question; could you elucidate ? Give an example ?

Momentum can be represented as a wave, therefore all corresponding mass has a representing wave. All particles have wave duality, by adding wavelengths to create the corresponding wave to that momentum.

The wave is a representation of both the particle and wave form...They look like straight line with an interrupting wave...Is this any help?

Still confused what you want to ask. Is this in an introductory quantum mechanics context ?

watch this: Near the end it talks about waves being put together...does this create a unique signature of the object.

I would say: no, on the contrary: this uncertainty relation is universal.
So in your post #1

you have the right idea.
Feel free to ask more; this is a very fundamental issue :smile: .
