On average, people in Adelaide have a mass of m
would have a de Broglie wavelength of A N 3.66 x 10 36
85.5 kg and walk at a speed of v = 2.12 ms, If we were to consider such a person to be a particle with mass m and speed v, then they
m when walking.
Explain why the average Adelaidean is not observed to diffract when walking through a doorway.
