Why don't we observe the wave properties of large objects such as a cricket hall or an neroplane ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A circket hall or an aeroplane possesses very large mass and hence the wavelength of the Broglie wave associated with them is too small to be observed

According to de-Brogile, matter should exhibit dual behaviour, that is both particle and wave like properties. However, a cricket ball of mass 100 g does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a b owler at a speed of 100km/h. calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave nature.
