calculate the uncertainty in the position of a hydrogen atom when its velocity is known to be within 50.0 m/s. How does the uncertainty in position compare to the radius of the hydrogen atom at approximately 0.040 nm (1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 kg). really struggling on the second part of the question. thank you.

The PIB (Particle in a box) transition that absorbs the photon of longest wavelength is from the n 1 level to the n= 2 level. Select one: True False
What is the wavelength in meters of a photon generated by an electron going from n 3D(6.0000x10^0) to n= (1.00x10^0)? Answer to 3 significant figures and in scientific notation. Sorry about the two n values, I can either do scientific notation need for the answer or you have to enter the answer without scientific notation. I can't change between them. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer: x10 Answer units
