What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with a proton moving at 381381 m/s?
wavelength of proton matter wave:
What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with a 153153 kg astronaut (including her spacesuit) moving at the same speed?
wavelength of astronaut matter wave:
What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with Earth moving along its orbit around the Sun?
wavelength of Earth matter wave:
What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with a proton moving at 381381 m/s
= h / mv
where h = 6.63e-34 m2 kg / s
= 6.63e-34 /
1.67e-27 * 381
= 1.042e-9
m

What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with a 153153 kg astronaut (including her spacesuit) moving at the same speed?
= 6.63e-34 /
153 * 381
= 1.137e-38

What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with Earth moving along its orbit around the Sun
speed = 107,000 km/h = 29722.22 m/s
so
= 6.63e-34 /
5.97e24 * 29722.22
= 3.736e-63
