The condition for a stable wave in an orbit of radius $r$ is given by the de Broglie relationship where the circumference of the orbit must be an integral multiple of the wavelength.

  • A
    $n\lambda = 2\pi r$
  • B
    $n\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\pi r$
  • C
    $n\lambda = 8\pi r$
  • D
    $n\lambda = 4\pi r$

According to de Broglie,matter should exhibit dual behaviour,that is both particle and wave-like properties. However,a cricket ball of mass $100 \ g$ does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a bowler at a speed of $100 \ km/h$. Calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave nature.
