The speed of an electron is measured to within an uncertainty
of 2.0 × 104 m/s. What is the size of the smallest region of
space in which the electron can be confined?
The speed of an electron is known to be between 5.0×106 m/sm/s and 5.8×106 m/sm/s . Estimate the uncertainty in its position.
If the speed of an electron is measured to within an uncertainty of 2.0×10 4 m/s, what wouldbe the size of the smallest region of space in which the electron can be confined? me = 9.11×10 -31kg.
