### Wavelike properties of protons

I know electrons have wavelike properties, but do protons and neutrons have wavelike properties as well?

Yes, protons, neutrons, and electrons all have wavelike properties. Based on De Broglie's Equation, any moving particle with moment has wavelike properties, thus neutrons and protons would fit this property.

### Re: Wavelike properties of protons

I agree with the post above, typically really small objects with momentum have perceivable wave-like properties. One exception to this is a photon. Despite it not having a mass, it can still have momentum. The reason as to why this is goes beyond the scope of this class, but because a photon can have momentum, it can display wave-like properties.
