Given data
The mass of the ball is given as m = 149 g.
The velocity of the ball is given as v = 101 m p h.
The de Broglie wavelength is calculated as,
λ = h m v
Here, h is the Planck's constant.
On putting the values as,
λ = h m v λ = ( 6.626 × 10 34 m 2 k g / s ) ( 149 × 10 3 k g ) × ( 101 m p h ( 1 m / s 2.237 m p h ) ) λ = 9.849 × 10 35 m
Thus, the de Broglie wavelength of the baseball is 9.849 × 10 35 m
