Question
The measurement of the electron position is associated with an uncertainty in momentum which is equal to . The uncertainty in velocity of the electron will be: (mass of an electron is )
1 × 10⁹ cm s⁻¹
1 × 10⁶ cm s⁻¹
1 × 10⁵ cm s⁻¹
1 × 10¹¹ cm s⁻¹
The uncertainty in momentum () is related to the uncertainty in velocity () and mass () by the definition of momentum: .
Identify Given Values: Uncertainty in momentum () = Mass of electron () =
Calculation: Rearranging the formula to solve for :
Rounding to the nearest integer coefficient as per the options, the value is .
