| S.N | Electromagnetic wave | Matter wave |
| 1 | These wave are associated with electrical and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation | These waves are not associated with electrical and magnetic fields. |
| 2 | These can be pass through vacuum | These wave cannot pass through vacuum |
| 3 | These are actually emitted by their source | These are not emitted by material particle. They are simply associated with the particle. |
| 4 | These waves always travel with the constant speed of light. | These waves always travel with the different speeds depending upon the mass of the moving bodies. Their speed is always less than that of light. |
| 5 | These waves have always sufficient wavelength and are practically significant. | Only the matter waves associated with extremely small particles have sufficient wavelength and hence significant. Those associated with large objects are insignificant. |
