We do not notice the de Brogile wavelength for a pitched cricket ball .Explain why?
Answers
So if we consider the mass of an electron and mass of a cricket ball we will see that cricket ball has the most significant mass than an electron. So we can observe the de Broglie wavelength of electron whereas the de Broglie wavelength of cricket ball is unobservable.
