The measurement of the electron position is associated with an uncertainty in momentum, which is equal to `1 xx 10^-18 g cm s^-1`. The uncertainty in electron velocity is (mass of an electron is `9 xx 10^-28 g`)A. `1 xx 10^6 cm s^-1`B. `1 xx 10^5 cm s^-1`C. `1 xx 10^11 cm s^-1`D. `1.1 xx 10^9 cm s^-1`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(d) `Deltax = Deltap therefore Deltax dot Deltap = (h)/(4pi)`
or `Deltax= sqrt((h)/(4pi))`
`Delta x. Delta u = (h)/(4 pi m)`
`Delta p = 1 xx 10^-18g cm sec^-1`
`m xx Delta u = 1 xx 10^-18`
`:. Delta u = (1 xx 10^-18)/(9 xx 10^-28) = 1.1 xx 10^9 cm sec^-1`.
