Hello, what is referred to that every moving body has an associate wavelength ?

thank you

But the de Broglie wavelength tends to be very short and can only be applied, with any real meaning, to 'simple' particles. It is fun to calculate the wavelength of a London bus, traveling at 30mph but is is not a valid thing to do.
