What wavelengths are possible when an electron comes from the second excited state to the ground state such as an H atom? and what would be the momenta of the photons?
assume that an electron is moving along the x-axis and that you measure its speed to be 20.5*10^6m/s, which can be known with of precision of 0.50%. what is the minimum uncertainty (as allowed by the uncertainty principle in quantum theory )with which you can simultaneously measure the position of the electron along the x-axis?
The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 50 pm, which is about equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom.What is the least uncertainty in any simultaneous measurement of the momentum component px of this electron?
