Answer:

Particle waves are waves associated with particles. Every particle behaves like wave. The wave-like behaviour becomes obvious at very high speeds. Moreover, waves can also exhibit particle-like properties. For example, particle waves can have

1- discrete frequency or wavelength

2 - momentum ( a characteristic of particles )

and many other properties observed in experiments that can only be explained when we consider waves as particles.
