where <math>h</math> is [[Planck's constant]] and <math>p</math> is the [[momentum (physics)]] of the particle.
At macroscopic scales, <math>\lambda</math> is very small as Planck's constant is such a small number, <math>6.63 \times 10^{-34} \; \text{J} \, \text{s}</math>. Therefore the wave-like nature of matter has little effect on macroscopic scales.

The wave-like nature of matter leads to the [[Heisenberg uncertainty principle]], which states that there are certain quantities, such as position and momentum, that cannot be measured to an arbitrary precision simultaneously.
