The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the uncertainty involved in the measurement of the velocity of an electron with a distance of `0.1 Å`, we will apply the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the product of the uncertainties in position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \( \Delta x \) is the uncertainty in position, - \( \Delta p \) is the uncertainty in momentum, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)). ### Step 2: Convert the given distance to meters The distance given is `0.1 Å` (angstrom). We need to convert this to meters: \[ 0.1 \, \text{Å} = 0.1 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 1 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \] Thus, \( \Delta x = 1 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \). ### Step 3: Calculate the uncertainty in momentum The uncertainty in momentum (Δp) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v \] where: - \( m \) is the mass of the electron (\( 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \)), - \( \Delta v \) is the uncertainty in velocity. ### Step 4: Substitute values into the Heisenberg equation Substituting \( \Delta x \) and \( \Delta p \) into the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle equation: \[ \Delta x \cdot (m \cdot \Delta v) \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] \[ 1 \times 10^{-11} \cdot (9.1 \times 10^{-31} \cdot \Delta v) \geq \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the right-hand side Calculating \( \frac{h}{4\pi} \): \[ \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \cdot 3.14} \approx \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{12.56} \approx 5.28 \times 10^{-35} \] ### Step 6: Rearrange to find Δv Now, we can rearrange the equation to solve for \( \Delta v \): \[ 1 \times 10^{-11} \cdot (9.1 \times 10^{-31} \cdot \Delta v) \geq 5.28 \times 10^{-35} \] \[ \Delta v \geq \frac{5.28 \times 10^{-35}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \cdot 1 \times 10^{-11}} \] \[ \Delta v \geq \frac{5.28 \times 10^{-35}}{9.1 \times 10^{-42}} \] \[ \Delta v \geq 5.79 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion The uncertainty in the measurement of the velocity of the electron is: \[ \Delta v \geq 5.79 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \]
