    The uncertainty in the momentum of a particle is\[{{10}^{-30}}kg-m/s\]. The minimum uncertainty in its position will be

    A)  \[{{10}^{-8}}m\]

    B)  \[{{10}^{-12}}m\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-16}}m\]

    D)  \[{{10}^{-4}}m\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The product of uncertainties in the simultaneous measurement of position and momentum, energy and time, angular momentum and angular displacement is of the order of h (or h). where, \[h=\frac{h}{2\pi }\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta p\,.\,\,\Delta x\ge h\] where \[\Delta p\] is uncertainty in the measurement of momentum of particle. The minimum uncertainty in position of particle will be \[\Delta x=\frac{h}{\Delta p}\] Here, \[\Delta p={{10}^{-30}}kg\,m/s\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta x=\frac{1.034\times {{10}^{-34}}}{{{10}^{-30}}}\] \[={{10}^{-4}}\,m\]
