Atomic Structure Question 379

Question: In an atom, an electron is moving with a speed of 600 m/s with an accuracy of 0.005%. Certainity with which the position of the electron can be located is ( h=6.6×1034kg,m2s1 , mass of electron, em=9.1×1031kg )

Options:

A) 5.10×103m

B) 1.92×103m

C) 3.84×103m

D) 1.52×104m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Δx.mΔv=h4π

Δx=h4πmΔv Here Δv=600×0.005100=0.03 So, Δx=6.6×10344×3.14×9.1×1031×0.03

=1.92×103
