To “see” such an orbiting electron by using a light microscope to measure the electron’s presumed orbital position with a precision of 10 pm (1 p = 1 pico = 10^-12), (a) What would be the photon energy of this light? (b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in a head-on collision?
