A 0.22 caliber handgun fires a 1.9g bullet at a velocity of 765m/s. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the bullet. Is the wave nature of matter significant for the bullets?

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m = 1.9 g = 0.0019 kg

velocity of the bullet, v = 765 m/s

de Broglie wavelength of the bullet is given by;

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

λ is de Broglie wavelength of the bullet

Thus, this value of the wavelength shows that wave nature of matter is insignificant for the bullet because it is larger than particles.

i wanna say it’s between b and d, leaning more towards b.
