To solve the problem of finding the uncertainty in the velocity of an electron when it is located within \( 5 \times 10^{-5} \) Å, we will use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the product of the uncertainties in position (\( \Delta x \)) and momentum (\( \Delta p \)) is greater than or equal to a constant: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant. ...
