Consider these statements: (I) according to the de Broglie hypothesis, particles

1. Consider these statements: (I) according to the de Broglie hypothesis, particles have wave-like characteristics, and (II) an electron and a proton sharing the same de Broglie wavelength must have equal momentum. Which is correct?

 

Both statements hold true — de Broglie proposed that all matter has wave properties, and since wavelength depends only on momentum, equal wavelengths always mean equal momentum, regardless of mass.
