    h = 6.62607*10^9 Js

    then you will need to apply the debroglie equation

    The Equation is given by

    λ = h / (mv)

    where

    λ = Wavelength

    h = Planck Constant = 6.62607*10^9 Js (asjusted)

    m = mass in kg

    v = velocity in m/s

    Now, substitute all data

    a)

    bacteria

    8 pg = 8*10^-15 kg

    WL = (6.62607*10^9) / ((8*10^-15) (9*10^-6))

    WL = 9.20*10^28

    this will be classical

    B)

    WL = (6.62607*10^9) / ((39) (2.7))

    WL = 62925641.0256 m

    classical

    c)

    m = 1.2*10^-21 g = 1.2*10^-24 kg

    v = 22 m/s

    WL = (6.62607*10^9) / ((1.2*10^-24) (22))

    WL = 2.50*10^32 m

    this will be classical

    d)

    m = 255 mg = 255*10^-6 kg

    v = 8*10^-3 m/s

    WL = (6.62607*10^9) / ((255*10^-6) (8*10^-3))

    WL = 3.24*10^15 m

    this must be classical

    Conclusion

    as far as the planet constant decreases; most of phenomena will be modelled and structured with classical equations.
