JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

Consider two separate ideal gases of electrons and protons having same number of particles. The temperature of both the gases are same. The ratio of the uncertainty in determining the position of an electron to that of a proton is proportional to :-

  1. A \(\left(\frac{{m}_{{p}}}{{m}_{{e}}}\right)^{3 / 2}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{{m}_{{e}}}{{m}_{{p}}}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{m}_{{p}}}{{m}_{{e}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta {x} \cdot \Delta {p} \geq \frac{{h}}{4 \pi}\) \(\Delta {x}=\frac{{h}}{4 \pi {m} \Delta {v}} \quad {v}=\sqrt{\frac{3 {KT}}{{m}}}\) \(\frac{\Delta {x}_{{e}}}{\Delta {x}_{{p}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{m}_{{p}}}{{m}_{{e}}}}\)
