Quantum phenomena are often negligible in the "macroscopic" world. Show this numerically for the following cases: (a) The amplitude of the zero-point oscillation for a pendulum of length 1= 1 m and mass m = 1 kg. (b) The tunneling probability for a marble of mass m = 5 g moving at a speed of 10 cm/sec against a rigid obstacle of height H = 5 cm and width w = 1 cm. (c) The diffraction of a tennis ball of mass m = 0.1 kg moving at a speed v = 0.5 m/sec by a window of size 1 x 1.5 m2.
