Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic
Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.

Why are dark matter and dark energy described as dark
zaharov [31]
Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.
