Question
A paramecium is covered with motile hairs called cilia that propel it at a speed of 1 mm/s. If the paramecium has a volume of 2 x 10-13 m3 and a density equal to that of water, what is its de Broglie wavelength when in motion? What fraction of the paramecium’s 150 μm length does this wavelength represent?
