Calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of (i) an electron (in the hydrogen atom) moving with a speed of of 1/100the speed of light in vacuum and (ii) a ball of radius 5mm and mass 3 x 10-2 kg. moving with a speed of 100ms-1.Hence show that the wave nature of matter is important at the atomic level but is not really relevant at themacroscopic level.
