Statement 1 : The position of an electron can be determined exactly with the help of an electron microscope.
Statement 2 : The product of uncertainty in the measurement of its momentum and the uncertainty in the measurement of the position cannot be less than a finite limit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Exact position and exact momentum of an electron can never be determined according to Heisenberg.s uncertainity principle. Even not with the help of electron microscope because when electron beam of electron microscope strikes the target electron of atom, the impact causes the change in velocity and position of electron.
Thus, the product of uncertainity in position and momentum is, `Delta x, Delta p ge (h)/(4 pi) ~~ 5.27xx10^(-37) Js`
