Consider your answer for the wavelength problem above. What is true about the wavelength of an electron? Small wavelengths never matter. The wavelength is the same size of an atom, so it will influence the properties of the electron as the electron is also very small. The electron produces a very large wavelength that can be picked up in the FM frequency range using a car radio. The wavelength is so small so it doesn't influence the properties of the electron at all.

Question
Consider your answer for the wavelength
problem above. What is true about the
wavelength of an electron?
Small wavelengths never matter.
The wavelength is the same size of an atom,
so it will influence the properties of the
electron as the electron is also very small.
The electron produces a very large
wavelength that can be picked up in the FM
frequency range using a car radio.
The wavelength is so small so it doesn't
influence the properties of the electron at all.
