Wave-like Properties

Postby EthanPham_1G » Sat Oct 12, 2019 4:48 pm

Can someone explain why all matter has wavelike properties, but only matter with a small mass can have noticeable wavelike properties?

According to DeBroglies equation, the higher the mass, the smaller the wavelength and are more likely to have particle-like behavior.

Through De Broglies equation, we can see that inputting data from something on the larger scale will only have extremely small waves that are undetectable. Hope this helps!

What I got from lecture was that the larger the mass the smaller the wavelength properties making it not detectable. So anything less that 10^-15m does not have detestable wavelength properties.

After seeing the use of the mass of the car example in lecture, you can see that the larger the mass the smaller the wavelength properties. This would make it not detectable.
