No, bowling balls would not exhibit wave-particle duality in the same way as particles in the double-slit experiment. The phenomenon of wave-particle duality is a fundamental characteristic of quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles on very small scales, such as atoms, electrons, and photons.
In the double-slit experiment, when particles like electrons or photons are fired towards a barrier with two slits, they exhibit interference patterns on the detection screen behind the barrier. This interference pattern arises from the wave-like behavior of particles, where they can interfere with themselves, resulting in regions of constructive and destructive interference.
Bowling balls, on the other hand, are macroscopic objects with a large mass and size. They are composed of an enormous number of particles (such as atoms) that collectively behave according to classical mechanics rather than quantum mechanics. The wavelength associated with a macroscopic object like a bowling ball is extremely small, making any wave-like behavior negligible on macroscopic scales.
In practical terms, if bowling balls were subjected to a double-slit experiment, they would behave as classical objects. They would not exhibit wave interference patterns on the detection screen because their size and mass would overwhelm any quantum effects. The behavior of bowling balls in such an experiment would follow the laws of classical physics, including the trajectory of the balls as they pass through the slits and interact with the surrounding environment.
Wave-particle duality is a property that primarily applies to particles on the quantum scale, and the behavior of macroscopic objects like bowling balls can be accurately described using classical mechanics.
