To solve the question regarding the uncertainty in the measurement of the position of a moving electron when light of wavelength \( \lambda \) hits it, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Uncertainty**: In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle states that there is a limit to how precisely we can know both the position and momentum of a particle. The more accurately we know one, the less accurately we can know the other. 2. **Identify the Wavelength**: The question specifies that light of wavelength \( \lambda \) is interacting with a moving electron. The wavelength of the light is crucial in determining the uncertainty in position. ...
