Calculate the uncertainty in the position of an electron if uncertainty in its velocity is (i) 0.001 % (ii) Zero.
(The mass of electron `= 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg`, velocity of electron = ` 300 ms^(-1))`

To solve the problem of calculating the uncertainty in the position of an electron given the uncertainty in its velocity, we will use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. The principle states that: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \(\Delta x\) is the uncertainty in position, ...
