If uncertainities in the measurement of position and momentum of a microscopic object of mass ' \(m\) are equal, then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is given by the expression

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{4 \pi m}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{4 \pi}} \times \frac{1}{m}\)
  3. C \(\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{m}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi m}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{\frac{h}{4 \pi}} \times \frac{1}{m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Heisenberg's uncertainity principle. It is impossible to determine simultaneously the position and momentum of moving particle thus. \[ \Delta x \times \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} \] But, \(\quad p=m \times v\)…
