Question
Chapter 32, Problem 28P
To determine
The uncertainty in rest energy of particle if the mean life is express in MeV?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 28P
Solution:
The uncertainty in rest of energy of the particle is .
Explanation of Solution
Given info.:
The mean life of particle is .
Formula used:
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle can be expressed as
Here,
h: Planck’s constant.
: Uncertainty in time.
Calculation:
Substitute for h,
Therefore, the uncertainty in rest energy of the particle is .
