JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

An accelerated electron has a speed of \(5 \times 10^{6} \,\mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) with an uncertainty of \(0.02\,\%\). The uncertainty in finding its location while in motion is \(x \times 10^{-9}\, \mathrm{~m}\). The value of \(x\) is \(......\) (Nearest integer) [Use mass of electron \(\left.=9.1 \times 10^{-31}\, \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{~h}=6.63 \times 10^{-34}\, \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}, \)\(\pi=3.14\right]\)

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(36\)
  3. C \(58\)
  4. D \(72\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(58\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta v=\frac{0.02}{100} \times 5 \times 10^{6}=10^{3} \,\mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle \(\Delta \mathrm{X} \cdot \Delta \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{4 \pi \,\mathrm{m}}\)…
