Concept explainers
The uncertainty in position of electron and basketball.
Answer to Problem 10P
The uncertainty in the momentum is
The lowest possible kinetic energy
Explanation of Solution
Given info: Radius is
Formula used:
It is known that
Where,
Calculation:
Use the radius as the uncertainty in position for the neutron to calculate the uncertainty in the momentum by
Suppose that the lowest value for momentum is the least uncertainty. So, estimate the lowest possible kinetic energy as
Conclusion:
All the required values arecalculated.
