De Broglie Wavelength

9. Quantum Mechanics / De Broglie Wavelength / Problem 5

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a 155-g ball traveling at 82 mph. Why is the wave nature of matter not important for this ball?

ANSWERS OPTIONS

A

1.2×10⁻³⁴m; The value of wavelength is so small that it will not affect the trajectory of the ball.

B

4.5×10⁻⁴⁴m; The value of wavelength is so small that it will not affect the trajectory of the ball.

C

6.2×10⁻³⁴m; The value of wavelength is so small that it will not affect the trajectory of the ball.

D

8.2×10⁻³⁴m; The value of wavelength is so small that it will not affect the trajectory of the ball.
