(b) (i) The effect of uncertainty principle is significant only for motion of microscopic particles. Justify the statement with the help of a suitable example. (ii) How does the Bohr theory of the hudrogen atom differ from that of Schrodinger ?

Answer»

Solution :(b) (i) If yncertainty principle is applied to an object of mass say about a milligram `(10^(-6) kg)`, then
`Delta v Delta x =(h)/(4pim)`
`DELTAV. DELTAX =(6.626xx10^(-34)kg m^(2) s^(-1))/(4xx3.14xx10^(-6)kg)`
`=0.52xx10^(-28) m^(2) s^(-1)`
The value of `Deltav. Deltax` obtained is extremely small and is insignificant . Therefore , for milligram SIZED of heavier objects, the associated UNCERTAINTIES are hardly of any real consequence.
