  The wave-particle duality is one of the most mysterious phenomena of the
quantum theory, in this paper first it's studied the rise of the wave
properties of matter from the theory of stochastic electrodynamics (SED), in
which de Broglie's idea of a guiding wave that follows the particle and
determine its trajectory is taken back. In the frame of the theory (SED) this
wave is of electromagnetic character and is a traveling wave that propagates
within the zero point field (ZPF) which according the SED is a classic
electromagnetic field that permeates all universe. The wave rise from the
interaction between the background field and the particle that moves with
certain velocity. Then, I expose the results of numerical simulations in which
the behavior of the ZPF in a two slit diffraction experiment is calculated and
a series of macroscopic experiments that shows behaviors similar to the ones
described by the SED. Both, simulations and experiments give us a better
physical understanding of the guiding wave and of the wave properties of
quantum particles
