This De Broglie Wavelengths instructional video also includes:
You learned in the previous lesson in this series that a particle with momentum has the properties of a wave. So how about a baseball? The lesson calculates the wavelengths of different particles given their momentum (mass and velocity), discovering that as the particle gets bigger, the wavelength gets smaller and smaller. Eventually, the wavelength becomes insignificant.
