AI Generated Solution

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