The Compton wavelength <math>\lambda<math> of a particle is given by
<math>\lambda=h/mc<math>, where <math>h<math> is the Planck constant, <math>m<math> is the particle's mass and <math>c<math> is the speed of light.
A particle generally behaves as quantum mechanical wave when observed at distances shorter than its Compton wavelength.
