1. We have seen in class that to an object possessing momentum p, one can associated a wavevector k=p/hbar, where hbar=1.05e-34 is the Planck constant. The corresponding wavelength is called the de Broglie wavelength. Knowing this wavelength is useful in assessing how wave-like or otherwise the motion of the object is. If the de Broglie wave length is much less than the apparent size of the object, we say that the motion of the object is classical. What is the de Broglie wavelength of the object of mass 1 g travelling at 1 m/sec, in SI units?
