Uncertainty in the position of an electron mass ` (9. 1 xx 10^(31) kg)` moving with a velocity ` 300 ms^(-1)` accurate uptp ` 0.001 %` will be :

A

`19.2xx10^(-2) m`

B

`5.76xx10^(-2) m`

C

`1.92 xx10^(-2) m`

D

`3.84xx10^(-2) m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3

According to Heisenberg's uncertainity principle
`Deltax xx Deltap=h/(4pi)`
`Deltax xx (m.Deltav)=h/(4pi)rArr Deltax =h/(4pim. Deltav)" "Deltav=0.001/100xx300=3xx10^(-3)ms^(-1)`
`:. Deltax =(6.63xx10^(-34))/(4xx3.14xx9.1xx10^(-31)xx3xx10^(-3))=1.29xx10^(-2)m`.
