Measurable wavelength
Hi. Could someone please remind me what the cut off was for measurable wavelengths? I think Dr.Lavelle said something like 10^-10 but I can't remember for sure. Thank you!

Re: Measurable wavelength
In my notes I have that if the wavelength is greater than or equal to 10^(-15) m, then the object exhibits measurable wavelike properties (10^-15 is the cutoff).

Re: Measurable wavelength
The cutoff for measurable wavelength is 10^-15 m. We cannot detect wavelengths of a smaller value.

Re: Measurable wavelength
Hi. Although the cutoff for wavelength isn't an exact value, the approximate cutoff wavelength value would be about 10^-15. For example, wavelengths of 10^-38 would have no measurable wavelike properties.

Re: Measurable wavelength
The cutoff that Dr. Lavelle mentioned was 10^(-15) meters, anything smaller than that is not detectable. Hope this helps!
