If the position of electron is measured within an accuracy of+ - 0.002nm , calculate the uncertainly in the momentum of electron. suppose the momentum of electron is h/πm×0.05nm, is there any problem in defining this value.

Solution

By applying the uncertainty principle,

{tex}\displaystyle \Delta P = \frac {h}{4 \pi \Delta x} = \frac {6.626 \times 10^{-34} }{4 \times 3.1416 \times 0.002 \times 10^{-9} } = 2.63 \times 10^{-23}\ kg\ m/s{/tex}

 

The uncertainty in momentum is, 
{tex}\displaystyle \frac {h}{4 \pi m \times 0.002 \times 10^{-9} } = \frac {h \times 5 \times 10^{11} }{4 \times \pi \times m}{/tex}

This is much larger than the actual momentum, i.e,  

{tex}\displaystyle \frac {h}{4 \pi m} \times 0.05\ nm{/tex}. Hence, it cannot be defined.
