Particles/waves cannot act like particles and waves at the same time. For a given observation, it adopts the property of one or the other. In reality, all particles exhibit wave properties *sometimes* and all waves exhibit particle properties *sometimes*. Each particle has a wave function that determines how likely it is to be somewhere at any point in time. Particles/waves cannot act like particles and waves at the same time.

By equating the equations for momentum of photons and particles, the wavelength of a particle can be determined. Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the particle, $m$ is its mass, $v$ is its velocity, and $h$ is Planck's constant: By equating the equations for momentum of photons and particles, the (de Broglie) wavelength of a particle can be determined. Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the particle, $m$ is its mass, $v$ is its velocity, and $h$ is Planck's constant:
$$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$$ $$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$$
Therefore, wavelengths of "particles" are only really significant for small masses at high speeds rather than large masses at lower speeds. Therefore, wavelengths of "particles" are only really significant for small masses at high speeds rather than large masses at lower speeds.
