If, in the expression for the de Broglie wavelength, we let m -> infinity, do we get the classical result for matter?
de Broglie wavelength = h/mv
so as m goes to infinity the de Broglie wavelength goes to 0. So does this mean that particles with larger mass don't display wavelike properties and therefore can be treated as a point particle which means we can apply classical Newtonian physics?
