In quantum mechanics, constructive superposition of infinite numbers of waves gives the most probable location of the object. and the final wavelength of superimposed wave forms is given by: lamda = h/momentum. What is the origin of these infinite nos. of wave which superposition gives the location of the object.

I don't know what this means. In Quantum Mechanics, the "state" of a system is an abstract idea. You can express the state of a system in so-called "position space", which I think may be what you mean. However, in general systems are not in states of definite position, which means that when you express the state of the system in terms of position you will have a distribution of possible locations.

I believe that constructive superposition of an infinite number of waves is usually meant to refer to the description of a free particle of given momentum. What is the origin of the wave? the particle?
