Distinguish, differentiate, compare and explain what is the differences between electromagnetic and matter waves. Comparison and Difference.

S.No.	Electromagnetic Waves	Matter Waves
1	Associated with electrical and magnetic fields.	Not associated with electrical and magnetic fields.
2	Can be emitted or radiated in space.	Neither radiated into space nor emitted by the particles. These are simply associated with the particles.
3	Travel with the same velocity.	Travel with different velocities.
4	Velocity is equal to that of the velocity of light i.e. 3 x 10 8 ms-1.	Velocity is different from that of light.
5	The wavelength is given by lambda = c/v = h/mc.	The wavelength is given by lambda = h/mw = h/p.
