According to the de Broglie hypothesis particles like electrons can have a wavelength and be treated as waves for instance when confined in atoms.
What I fail to understand is what exactly waves, I mean, in what medium does the electron wave? is it empty space, like photons? Perhaps this is too basic, but I'm new at this quantum stuff.
Thanks
