What is the de Broglie wavelength of a red blood cell with a mass of 1.00 * 10-11 g that is moving with a speed of 0.400 cm/s? Do we need

What is the de Broglie wavelength of a red blood cell with a mass of 1.00 * 10-11 g that is moving with a speed of 0.400 cm/s? Do we need to be concerned with the wave nature of the blood cells when we describe the flow of blood in the body?

  1. The wavelength is "[tex]=16.5675\times 10^{-18} \ m[/tex]".

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Mass,

    m = [tex]1\times 10^{-11} \ g[/tex]

    Speed,

    V = [tex]0.400 \ cm/s[/tex]

    or,

      = [tex]0.4\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

    According to De Broglie,

    The wavelength will be:

    ⇒ [tex]\lambda = \frac{h}{mV}[/tex]

          [tex]=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}}{1\times 10^{-11}\times 10^{-3}\times 0.4\times 10^{-2}}[/tex]

          [tex]=16.5675\times 10^{-18} \ m[/tex]

    So, blood cells move these wavelength.
