The correct Answer is:
To find the uncertainty in position (Δx) of an electron given the uncertainty in momentum (Δp), we can use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states: \[ \Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] Where: - \( \Delta x \) is the uncertainty in position, - \( \Delta p \) is the uncertainty in momentum, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \)), - \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Uncertainty in momentum, \( \Delta p = 1 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{kg m/s} \) - Planck's constant, \( h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \) - Value of \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) 2. **Use the Uncertainty Principle Formula**: Rearranging the formula to find \( \Delta x \): \[ \Delta x = \frac{h}{4\pi \Delta p} \] 3. **Substitute the Values**: \[ \Delta x = \frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times (1 \times 10^{-5})} \] 4. **Calculate the Denominator**: - First, calculate \( 4 \times 3.14 \): \[ 4 \times 3.14 = 12.56 \] - Now calculate \( 12.56 \times (1 \times 10^{-5}) \): \[ 12.56 \times 10^{-5} = 1.256 \times 10^{-4} \] 5. **Calculate \( \Delta x \)**: Now substitute back into the equation: \[ \Delta x = \frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}}{1.256 \times 10^{-4}} \] - Performing the division: \[ \Delta x = 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer: The uncertainty in position \( \Delta x \) is: \[ \Delta x = 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{m} \]
