The reason the wavelike motion of macroscopic objects cannot be observed is to be determined. Concept introduction: According to de-Broglie, just like light, matter also has a dual character as a wave and as a particle. The term wavicle was proposed for such a particle. However, matter waves are different from electromagnetic waves. The speed of matter waves is much less compared to the speed of light . Matter waves cannot propagate through empty space. Matter waves are not emitted by the particles under consideration but are rather associated with them. Compared to the wavelengths of the electromagnetic waves, the wavelengths of the matter waves are very small.
