Question by Giancoli, Douglas C., Physics: Principles with Applications, 7th Ed., ©2014, Reprinted by permission of Pearson Education Inc., New York.
Problem 46
Q

A Ferrari with a mass of 1400 kg approaches a freeway underpass that is 12 m across. At what speed must the car be moving, in order for it to have a wavelength such that it might somehow “diffract” after passing through this “single slit”? How do these conditions compare to normal freeway speeds of 30 m/s?

A
3.9×10−38 m/s3.9 \times 10^{-38} \textrm{ m/s}, no diffraction pattern
