Homework Statement
It is an MCQ problem:
How does the de Broglie wavelength λ associated with a particle compare to the size of the particle?
(A) λ must be greater than the particle
(B) λ must be less than he particle
(C) λ could be larger and smaller than the particle
Homework Equations
I have used de Broglie's relation and Uncertainty principle.
The Attempt at a Solution
∆x ∆p> h
or, ∆x>(h/∆p)~λ as ∆p~p and ∆x is the particle's size in crude terms...
Please check and tell me if I am correct
