Question

The uncertainty in position and velocity of the particle are $0.1 n m$ and $5.27 \times 10^{- 24} {m s}^{- 1}$ respectively then find the mass of the particle ( $h = 6.625 \times 10^{- 34} {J s}^{- 1}$ ).

Solution

As per Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,
$Δ x Δ p = \frac{h}{4 π}$
$Δ x = 0.1 n m = 10^{- 10} m$ , $Δ p = m Δ v$ and $Δ v = 5.27 \times 10^{- 24} m / s$
$(10^{- 10} m) (5.27 \times 10^{- 24} m / s) = \frac{h}{4 π m}$
$m = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{- 34} J s}{(10^{- 10} m) (5.27 \times 10^{- 24} m / s) (4 π)}$
$m = 0.1 k g$
