Why are de Broglie waves associated with a moving football is not apparent to us?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let mass of football, m=200 g =0.2 kg and `v=2 ms^(-1)`
Then, de-Broglie wave associated with the ball,
`lambda = h/(mv) =(6.62 xx 10^(-34))/(0.2 xx 1) = 3.31 xx 10^(-33)`m.
Thus we find that the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the ball is of the order of `10^(-33)` m and hence not visible.
