Why de Broglie relation is not meaningful to move a cricket ball?
Asked by Kalita Padmanath | 29th Jun, 2016, 11:12: PM
Expert Answer:
de Broglie relation is valid for moving particles that have both wave like and particle like characteristics. Sub-atomic particles show this behaviour.
A cricket ball does not have any wave like characteristics due to high mass and hence de Broglie equation is not valid for it.
