Question

If the x-position of a particle is measured with an uncertainty of 1.00×10-10 m, then what is the uncertainty of the momentum in this same direction? (Useful constant: h-bar = 1.05×10-34 Js.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum is 5.25x 10^25Jsm

Explanation:

We know that

h bar = h/2π

So

1.05x 10^34=h/2pπ

h=1.05x 10^ 34(2π)=6.597x 10^-34Js

dp=(6.597x10^-34/4pπ)/(1x10^-10)

=5.25x10^-25 Jsm
