Solutions

Expert Solution

1)
The uncertainty in the velocity of the electron is
  
And the mass of the electron is
  
So, from the uncertainty relation, we write
   
So, the uncertainty in the position is
   

So, putting the given values, we get
  
  
   
So, the minimum uncertainty in the position is
  
So, option (C) is correct.

2)
The uncertainty in the position is
     
So, the uncertainty in the momentum is given by
   
  So, we get
  
  
So, if the uncertainty in the momentum is assumed to be of the order of the momentum itself, then, we get the minimum value of the momentum

  So, the minimum energy is
  
  
So, option (A) is correct.
