# According to De-Broglie, the waves are associated with:
a)Moving charged particles only
b)Moving neutral particles only
c)Electrons only
d)All moving particles
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is this a historical question? If so, and If I'm not mistaken, de Broglie considered only electrons when he came with his hypothesis.
 
The correct answer is (d) All moving particles. He studied electrons because anything larger would have made the observation of the waves impossible.
 
the answer is d . de broglies principle is applicable to each and every object. for eg cars and electron both have wave nature , but becoz of the smaller mass of the electron the wave nature is more prevalent in it.
 
Thats cool! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
