In an exerperiment, the measured velocity of an electron is `50m*s^(-1)`. If this measurement of velocity involves 99.999% accuracy, find the uncertainty in the determination of its position.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Uncertainty in velocity`=100-99.999=0.001%`
`therefore Deltav=50xx(1)/(1000)=0.05m*s^(-1)`
`therefore Deltax=(6.626xx10^(-34))/(4xx3.14xx(9.11xx10^(-31))xx0.05)=1.158xx10^(-3)m`
