What is the nature of the proposed dual behavior of matter according to de Broglie?

Options

  1. AMatter exhibits only wavelike properties.
  2. BMatter exhibits only particle-like properties.
  3. CMatter exhibits both particle and wavelike properties.
  4. DMatter does not exhibit any behavior.

Correct answer

C. Matter exhibits both particle and wavelike properties.

Step-by-step solution

de Broglie proposed that matter, like radiation, should exhibit dual behavior, meaning both particle and wavelike properties.
