Abstract

In this paper, we explore the de Broglie wavelength of an average cow, and investigate if it is possible for a cow to also act as a wave. It is perfectly viable to calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a macroscopic object, such as in this case a cow, if we consider each atom of the cow to be coherent. The de Broglie wavelength of an average cow was found to be 1.3 × 10^−37 m.
