Matter is a wave … and a particle. In the 1920s, a young physicist named Louis de Broglie made a radical suggestion: Since light has energy, momentum and a wavelength, and matter has energy and momentum, maybe matter has a wavelength, too. ... Electrons are acting like waves when they don't look anything like waves.

Is a wave matter or energy?

Waves involve the transport of energy without the transport of matter. In conclusion, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location (its source) to another location without transporting matter.

Is waves an example of matter?

So it has a definite energy and the "thing" that is "waving"(being disturbed) could be matter, for example, as in water waves (water) and sound waves (air) or it could be energy, for example, electromagnetic waves (oscillations of electric and magnetic fields).
