Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of an electron, if the uncertainity in position is 100 pm.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of an electron given the uncertainty in its position, we can use the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The principle states that: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi m} \] Where: - \(\Delta x\) is the uncertainty in position, ...
