Question

Uncertainty in the momentum of a particle 6*10power-2kg Ms-1. Calculate the uncertainty in its position

Open in App

Solution

we know that ∆x.∆p≥h/4π

→6×10^-2×∆x ≥ (6.6×10^-34) / (4×3.14)

→∆x ≥ (6.6×10^-34) / (4×3.14)(6×10^-2)

→∆x ≥ 8.76 × 10^-34 m

→

the minimum value is 8.76 × 10^-34 m
