If a suitable photon is employed to locate an electron (mass \(=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\)) in an atom within a distance of \(10.98 \mathrm{~nm}\), the uncertainty involved in the measurement of its velocity in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1.6565 \times 10^6}{\pi}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1.6565 \times 10^4}{\pi}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1.6565 \times 10^{-8}}{\pi}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1.6565 \times 10^8}{\pi}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1.6565 \times 10^4}{\pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Mass of electron \(=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) Position of electron \(=10.98 \mathrm{~nm}\) \(=10.98 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\) Here, Planck constant \(=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) \(\Delta v=?\) According to Heisenberg uncertainty…
