Neutrinos are subatomic particles. The lowest mass neutrino has a mass of about 1.8 X 10-36 kg. You have captured one of these, and to study it, it can't have a speed greater than 1 cm/s. What is the smallest width of a one-dimensional box in which you can confine the neutrino? O 9.2 km 4.6 тm O 1.8 m 8.5 nm О 13.6 ст O 19.2 um
