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. `10^(9)cm s^(-1)`B. `10^(6)cm s^(-1)`C. `10^(5) cm s^(-1)`D. `10^(11) cm s^(-1)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Since momenutm `(p)` is the product of mass `(m)` and velocity `(v)`, we have `Deltap = mDeltav` `(1xx10^(-18)g cm s^(-1)) = (9xx10^(-28)g) (Deltav)` or `Deltav = (1xx10^(-18)g cms^(-1))/(9xx10^(-28)g)` `= 0.11 xx 10^(10)cm s^(-1)` `= 1.1 xx10^(9) cm s^(-1)` |
