The correct Answer is:
To calculate the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) of a particle given the uncertainty in its position (Δx), we will use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] Where: - Δx is the uncertainty in position, - Δp is the uncertainty in momentum, - h is Planck's constant, approximately \(6.625 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Joule second}\). ### Step-by-step solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Uncertainty in position, \( \Delta x = 6.6 \times 10^{-32} \, \text{m} \) - Planck's constant, \( h = 6.625 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Joule second} \) 2. **Use the formula to express Δp**: \[ \Delta p = \frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x} \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the formula**: \[ \Delta p = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 6.6 \times 10^{-32}} \] 4. **Calculate the denominator**: - First, calculate \( 4 \times 3.14 \): \[ 4 \times 3.14 = 12.56 \] - Now multiply by \( 6.6 \times 10^{-32} \): \[ 12.56 \times 6.6 \approx 82.956 \quad \text{(keeping significant figures in mind)} \] 5. **Combine the powers of ten**: \[ \Delta p = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{82.956 \times 10^{-32}} = \frac{6.625}{82.956} \times 10^{-34 + 32} \] 6. **Calculate the numerical value**: \[ \Delta p \approx 0.0799 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{kg m/s} \] 7. **Express in scientific notation**: \[ \Delta p \approx 8.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{kg m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The uncertainty in momentum (Δp) is approximately \( 8.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{kg m/s} \).
