The wavelength of a human (de Broglie)

Assuming the man has a mass of 66kg and is running at 10ms^-1

De Broglie wavelength:

λ = h / mv

= (6.63 x 10^-34) / (10 x 66)

= 1 x 10^-36 m

The gap needs to be the same size as the wavelength for diffraction to happen…In order to diffract, a person would have to run through a gap of 1 x 10^-36 m.
