Matter waves

As I have said that matter is also a wave . Now , I mean to prove it . All this was proposed by Louis de Broglie.
He had also a good reason why we can't see this property of matter . The answer resides in his formula

                  Momentum  X  Wavelength = Plank's Constant
Since , our mass is greater , momentum is greater and wavelength is less . But, what is the prove of this ?

Let me solve this for once and all .

Light waves can cause interference patterns . This means that light plus light can be double light or zero light .
To explain this effect we have to consider light as a wave . But , other experiments also show that light is a particulate . So , what if we define interference patterns in terms of particle nature of light .
Here , the trouble begins and we have to admit for once and all that matter can have its wavelength . Plus , it was also discovered after some time that electrons behave much like light particles , photons .QED ( Funny)
