Why do everyday objects show no wave behaviour?
ATheir wavelength is too small
BThey carry too much charge
CThey never interact with light
DThey have no momentum at all
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Their wavelength is too small
For large masses the de Broglie wavelength is far below anything measurable, so wave effects cannot be seen.
