The Moon orbits Earth at a radius of 3.84 X 108m. To do so as a classical particle, its wavelength should be small. But small relative to what? Being a rough mea­sure of the region where it is confined, the orbit radius is certainly a relevant dimension against which to com­pare the wavelength. Compare the two. Does the Moon indeed orbit as a classical particle? (mEarth, — 5.98 X 1024 kg and mMoon = 7.35 X 1022 kg)
