If an electron is moving with velocity 5...

If an electron is moving with velocity `500ms^(-1)`, which is accurate up to 0.005% then calculate uncertainty in its position. `[h=6.63xx10^(-34)J-s`, mass of electron `=9.1xx10^(-31)kg]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Uncertainty in velocity
`Deltav=(600xx0.005)/(100)=3xx10^(-2)ms^(-1)`
According to Heisenberg's uncertainity principle
`DeltaxDeltav ge (h)/(4pim)`
`Deltax ge(h)/(4piDeltav)`
`ge(6.63xx10^(-34))/(4xx3.14xx9.1xx10^(-31)xx3xx10^(-2))`
`=1.9xx10^(-3)m`
