Estimate your de Broglie wavelength (in m) when you are running. (Recall that
h ~ 10−34
in SI units and 1 lb is equivalent to 0.45 kg.) For the computation, estimate how fast you can run in meters per second. (Give your mass in kg. Do not be too optimistic in your estimation. Remember the fastest runner can run 100 m in 9.58 s!)
