Answer:

(a)  7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m

(b)  1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m

Explanation:

(a)  The de Broglie wavelength is given by the expression:

λ = h/p = h/mv

where h is plancks constant, p is momentum which is equal to mass times velocity.

We have all the data required to calculate the wavelength, but first we will have to convert the velocity to m/s, and the mass to kilograms to work in metric system.

v = 19.8 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/s ) x ( 1 h / 3600 s ) = 8.85 m/s

m = 232 lb x ( 0.454 kg/ lb ) = 105.33 kg

λ = h/ mv = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 105.33 kg x 8.85 m/s ) = 7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m

(b) For this part we have to use the uncertainty principle associated with wave-matter:

ΔpΔx > = h/4π

mΔvΔx > = h/4π

Δx = h/ (4π m Δv )

Again to utilize this equation we will have to convert the uncertainty in velocity to m/s for unit consistency.

Δv = 0.1 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/mi ) x ( 1 h/ 3600 s )  

     = 0.045 m/s

Δx = h/ (4π m Δv ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / (4π x 105.33 kg x 0.045 m/s )

     = 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m

This calculation shows us why we should not be talking of wavelengths associatiated with everyday macroscopic objects for we are obtaining an uncertainty of 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m for the position of the fullback.
