Answer: in air 33.33 ps and in the glass 50 ps: so the difference 16.67 ps

Explanation: In order to calculate the time for a pulse travellin in air  and in a glass we have to consider the expresion of the speed given by:

v= d/t  v the speed in a medium is given by c/n where c and n are the speed of light and refractive index respectively.

so the time is:

t=d/v=d*n/c

in air

t=0.01 m*1/3*10^8 m/s= 33.33 ps

while for the glass

t=0.01 m*1.5* 3* 10^8 m/s= 50 ps

Finally the difference is (50-33.33)ps = 16.67 ps

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, if the uncertainty in the speed of an electron is 3.5 × 103 m/s, the uncertai
GREYUIT [131]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uncertainty in the speed of an electron, \Delta v=3.5\times 10^3\ m/s

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

\Delta x.\Delta p=\dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x is the uncertainty in the position of an electron

Since, \Delta p=m\Delta v

\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi.m \Delta v}

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.5\times 10^3}

\Delta x=1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the uncertainty in its position is 1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.
