Common mistakes in Dual nature of matter; de Broglie relation; uncertainty principle

Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.

  • Uses direct proportionality between momentum and wavelength.
  • Assumes equal wavelength requires equal velocity.
  • Assumes position and momentum can both be specified arbitrarily precisely.
  • Assumes matter waves are absent for macroscopic objects rather than merely negligible.
