Concept explainers
Whether the wavelength of moving matter is not noticed in ordinary experience due to either extraordinary large size or extraordinary small size of the wavelength.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The wavelength of the object varies inversely with momentum of the object. The momentum depends on the mass and speed of the object, so the wavelength of the object also vary with the variation in the mass and speed of the object.
The mass of the object in our daily life is very large than the molecular particles, so the wavelength of the object become too small to measure. The wavelength of the object become extraordinarily small, so it become difficult to notice the wavelength of moving matter.
Conclusion:
The wavelength of moving matter cannot noticed due to extraordinarily small size of the wavelength compared to size of the matter.
