    The document discusses De Broglie's theory of matter waves, which proposed that all matter exhibits wave-like properties. It provides an example of using De Broglie's wavelength equation to calculate that it would take a billiard ball over 1 billion years to travel 1 centimeter, making the wave nature of large objects impractical. The document is from a course on inorganic chemistry and was prepared by a lecturer to provide examples solving problems related to quantum theory.

    Or it takes 1.174 x 1012 years to travel / move a distance of 1 cm. So for the ball

    to move a distance of 1 cm, it takes a few billions years – not practical in our

    experience. Thus it is NOT possible by us to assume the ball has wave property.
