red light > electron > proton > baseball > person > car

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength associated to each object, you use the Broglie's relation:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\\\\$

h: Planck,s constant = 6.62*10^-34 Js

m: mass

v: velocity

For each object you use an average values of its mass.

person:

mass = 80kg

$\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(80kg)(4.5m/s)}=1.83*10^{-36}m$

electron:

mass = 9.1*10^{-31}kg

$\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(0.01c)}\\\\\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(0.01(3*10^{8}m/s))}\\\\\lambda=2.42*10^{-10}m$

red light:

In this case you use the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{4.3*10^{14}Hz}=6.97*10^{-7}m\approx700nm$

proton:

mass = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

$\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(1.67*10^{-27}kg)(0.01(3*10^8m/s))}\\\\\lambda=1.32*10^{-13}m$

car:

mass = 1500kg

$\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(1500kg)(27m/s)}=1.63*10^{-38}m$

baseball:

mass = 0.145kg

$\lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(0.145kg)(41m/s)}\\\\\lambda=1.11*10^{-34}m$

hence, by comparing the wavelengths of the objects you have:

red light > electron > proton > baseball > person > car
