Detailed Solution

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year and its orbit has a mean radius 150×106 km. Hence its average orbital speed is

v=2π×150×106×103365×24×3600=3×104 ms-1.

As the Earth has mass 6×1024 kg, its average momentum is

p=mv=1.8×1029 kgms-1,

and so its de Broglie wavelength is

λ=hp=6.63×10-341.8×1029=3.7×10-63 m
