If your de Broglie wavelength were 0.50m, how fast would you be moving if your mass is 75.0kg? Would you notice diffraction effects as you walk through a doorway? Approximately how long would it take you to walk through the doorway?

lambda = h/mv
v = h/(lambda*m)
m = 75 kg
lambda = 0.5m
v = 6.62e-34/(0.5*75) = 1.77e-35m.
Yes, you would see some diffraction effects since the door width is on the order of your wavelength.

p = h/lambda, so
m v = h/lambda
v = h/(lambda m)
= 6.626 * 10^-34 kg m^2/s / (0.50 m * 75.0 kg)
= 1.77 10^(-35) m/s
As the wavelength is of the order of the size of the "slit", you would notice diffraction effects.
The time to pass would be of the order
t ~h/(p^2/2m) = 2 m h / (h^2/lambda^2) = 2 m lambda^2 / h
= 2 * 75.0 kg * (0.50 m)^2/ ( 6.626 * 10^-34 kg m^2 /s) = 5.66 10^34 seconds (i.e. not in this universe's life time!!)
Oh, and u.n. o , maybe you would want to have a look at the "packet dropped from helicopter" question again... ;-)

4.4 * 10^-35 m/s
you would notice diffraction effects!
it would take me years to walk through the doorway!!! due to the extremely slow speed
