An electron moving with a velocity of 3*10^7m/s which is known to have an acuracy of 99.99% . given that the mass of electron is 9.1*10^-31kg and h=6.63*10^-34 1) calculate the uncertanity in velocity 2)calculate the uncertanity in position 3)compare the values in(1)and(2)and explain
Uncertainty in velocity = 3 x 10^ 7 x 99.99/100 = 2.999 x 10^7 m/s
Uncertainty in position = h / 4pi m delta v
=6.626 x 10-34 /4 x 3.14 x 9.1 x 10-31 x 2.99 x 10^7
=6.626 x 10 -34 / 341.74 x 10 -24
=.01938 x 10 -10m- 1
