Question

What did Louis de Broglie propose about the nature of matter?
Options
A Matter exists only as particles with no wave properties
B Electrons should be seen as having properties of a wave
Correct Answer
C Wavelength of matter is independent of its mass
D Only light exhibits wave-particle duality
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Louis de Broglie proposed that matter, including electrons, exhibits wave-like properties. He suggested that every particle has a wavelength related to its mass and velocity, expressed by the de Broglie relation λ = h/mv, extending wave-particle duality to matter.

Hint

Recall who suggested that wave-particle duality applies to electrons and matter in general.
