The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, let's break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:** Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the exact position and exact momentum of a particle. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \(\Delta x\) is the uncertainty in position, - \(\Delta p\) is the uncertainty in momentum, - \(h\) is Planck's constant. 2. **Relating Momentum to Velocity:** Momentum (\(p\)) is defined as the product of mass (\(m\)) and velocity (\(v\)): \[ p = m \cdot v \] Therefore, the uncertainty in momentum can be expressed as: \[ \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v \] where \(\Delta v\) is the uncertainty in velocity. 3. **Substituting into the Uncertainty Principle:** Substitute \(\Delta p\) into the uncertainty principle equation: \[ \Delta x \cdot (m \cdot \Delta v) \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] 4. **Given Condition:** According to the problem, \(\Delta x = 0\). Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ 0 \cdot (m \cdot \Delta v) \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] which is not possible. 5. **Analyzing the Implication:** Since \(\Delta x\) cannot be zero (as it leads to a contradiction), we can rearrange the equation to find \(\Delta v\): \[ \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m \cdot \Delta x} \] If \(\Delta x = 0\), then the expression becomes: \[ \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{0} \] This indicates that \(\Delta v\) approaches infinity. 6. **Conclusion:** Therefore, if the uncertainty in position (\(\Delta x\)) is zero, the uncertainty in velocity (\(\Delta v\)) will be infinite. ### Final Answer: If \(\Delta x\) is zero, then \(\Delta v\) will be infinite. ---

The mass m of an electron is 9.1 xx 10^(31)kg and the velocity v of an electron in the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is 2.2 xx 10^(6)ms^(-1) . Assuming that the velocity is known within 10% (Deltav = 0.22 xx 10^(6)ms^(-1)) , calculate the uncertainty in the electron's position in a hydrogen atom. Strategy: According to Heisenberg's principle, the uncertainty in the postion (Deltax) of any moving particle multiplied by the uncertainity of momentum (Deltap_(x)) can never be less than h//4pi . In the given case, Delta v is known and we need to find Deltax .
