Expert Solution
Step 1

The effects of matter-wave not often observed because the effects are very small in macroscopic objects.

To observe the effect of a matter-wave of a macroscopic object, the dimension of that object should be equivalent to the wavelength of that matter-wave.

The expression for the wavelength be given as,

Where,

h be defined as the Planck constant.

p be defined as the momentum.

v be defined as the velocity of the object

m be defined as the mass of the object.
