Answer:

Because it unites particle and wave nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

De Broglie wavelength can be defined as the,


\lambda =(h)/(mv)

Here, h is planks constant, m is the mass of electron, v is the velocity of electron.

Since the de Broglie wavelength can behave like the photon wavelength with respect to the momentum

It unites particles and waves nature ,so De Broglie wavelengths is probability waves associated with the wave function according to physicists.
