Employing the uncertainty principle, evaluate the indetreminancy of the velocity of an electron in a hydrogen atom if the size of the atom is assumed to be l = 0.10nm. Compare the obtained magnitude with the velocity of an electron in the first Bohar orbit of the given atom.

Answer»

Solution :As in the PREVIOUS problem
`Deltav underset(GT)~(ħ)/(ml)=1.16xx10^(6)m//s`
The acutal velocity `V_(1)` has been CALCULATED in problem 6.21. It is ltBrgt `v_(1)=2.21 xx10^(6)m//s`
Thus `Delta~v_(1)` (They are of the some order of MAGNITUDE)
