Just a random thought: is it not possible for a person to move slow enough to have an observable de Broglie wavelength? For example a person moving at around 10^-30 m/s should have a wave nature that is very observable.

Thanks for the informative replies. In that case, how would the intensity of sound produced by 2 identical violins compare with the intensity produced by just 1?

Why is it that when say 2 violins are playing the same tune at the same time, there is never any destructive interference and no sound is heard?

Using conservation of energy I get: This is by breaking the chain into 2 parts: the part of length L-b lying on the table and the part b over the edge. I also take PE = 0 at height L/2 below the table to simplify calculations later When the chain has fallen off the table, PE = 0 (since...

Homework Statement A uniform chain of length L lies on a smooth table with part of its length b initially hanging over the edge. Show that the time required for it to fall off the table when released from rest is given by t = √(L/g) arccosh (L/b) Homework Equations...
