If a proton is accelerated to a velocity of \(3 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) which is accurate up to \(\pm 0.5 \%\), then the uncertainty in its position will be \(\ldots \ldots \ldots\) [mass of proton \(=1.66 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}\), \(\left.h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\right]\)

  1. A \(1.55 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(3.24 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(1.58 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(2.11 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.11 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} \Delta v & =\frac{0.5}{100} \times 3 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \\ & =1.5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \\ \Delta x & =\frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta v} \\ & =\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 1.66 \times…
