Given Data :- L=10(−10)m
Formula :- ∆Xma.∆pmi=ħ
Calculations :- since the electron is probable anywhere within the box of length 10(−10)m, the maximum uncertainty in locating it is,
∆Xma=10(−10)m
∆Xma.m.∆vmi=ħ
∆vmi=ħ/(m∆Xma)
=(6.63×10(−34))/(2×3.14×9.1×10(−31)×10(−8))
∆vmi=1.16×105m/sec
Answer :- minimum uncertainty in velocity …
