Can a stationary, massive particle have a de Broglie wavelength?

Quick question
Can a stationary, massive particle have a de Broglie wavelength? I thougt not but there is a question that doesn't state a speed. I think it might be incorrect.

Cheers

There's no such thing as a stationary sub-atomic particle above absolute zero. For a macroscopic body you can always find a reference frame in which it is moving. But that does not answer your question ...

Hey Swain ... Yes Massive Particle have de Broglie wavelength...But it is very less to compare because According to de broglie Equation lambda=h/mv
wave length of the wave is invresely proportional to the mass... so when the masss of the particle increases its wavelength decreases comparitively
