Can someone please help me with my homework, please be clear for the answer box, Thank you
Classical mechanics is applicable for macroscopic particles whereas quantum mechanics is applicable for microscopic particles.
Classical mechanics is only based on newton’s law of motion whereas quantum mechanics is based on Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and De Broglie of dual nature of matter.
Given information:
Mass of eyelash mite = 13.1 µg
= 13.1×10-9 kg
Velocity of eyelash mite = 48 µm/s
= 48×10-6 m/s
Size = 230 µm
= 230×10-6 m
The calculation of wavelength is shown below:
The wavelength of eyelash mite is very large to the size.
Therefore, it is quantum.
Given information:
Mass of iceberg = 4.7 ×108 kg
Velocity iceberg = 1.41 km/h
= 0.3917 m/s
Size = 200 m
The calculation of wavelength is shown below:
The wavelength of iceberg is very small to the size.
Therefore, it is classical
