Louis de Broglie
In 1924 a French graduate student named Louis de Broglie suggested that matter did in fact, have wave-like properties. The larger the mass of an object, and the faster the speed at which the object is traveling, the smaller the object's wavelength. In the 1920s, scientists were able to find evidence of electron waves diffracting as electrons were forced through a thin metal film.

Wikipedia - "His 1924 doctoral thesis, Recherches sur la théorie des quanta (Research on Quantum Theory), introduced his theory of electron waves."
The wavelength of a particle is named after him.
Louis de Broglie did in his 1924 doctoral thesis. Matter waves are still often called de Broglie waves in his honor.

It means that if you design an experiment to detect the behavior of particles, andrun light through it, light behaves as if it's made of particles. And if you design anexperiment to detect the behavior of waves, and run light through it, light behavesas if it's made of waves. Light has a "dual nature". That means it acts like two thingsthat we always thought were separate ... waves andparticles.
Electrons are known to be particles because they have mass and interact with matter as particles do. However, they are also waves and interact as waves do. This causes confusion for many people.
sound waves move along with the particles of matter through which it passes
they are also called de brogle waves.they are the waves associated with particles.
A good conducter of what? A vaccum contains nothing, no gas, no matter, no sub-atomic particles so it cannot conduct anything. But particles and waves can travel through it, like light or radio waves.

Light behaves in TWO ways. It has the properties of BOTH Waves and Particles in its motion and transmission.

If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures wave properties and then run light through it, light behaves like waves. If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures particle properties and then run light through it, light behaves like particles. Light exhibits the propertiers of both waves and particles.

All waves have energy, and therefore mass. All particles have a corresponding wave.
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
No. Sound transmits by waves through matter/particles.

No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
All atomic matter emits electromagnetic waves, since it is all hotter than absolute zero and therefore has some degree of vibration, however slight, which results in electromagnetic waves since atomic matter contains charged particles. However, there are other types of matter. Exchange particles such as photons, gravitons, or pi-mesons, do have matter, but do not emit electromagnetic waves. Dark matter, which seems to constitute a very large part of our universe, does not emit electromagnetic waves.
