In an atom,an electron is moving with a speed of $600 \, m/s$ with an accuracy of $0.005 \%$. The certainty with which the position of the electron can be located is $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, kg \, m^2 s^{-1}, m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg)$:

  • A
    $5.10 \times 10^{-3} \, m$
  • B
    $1.92 \times 10^{-3} \, m$
  • C
    $3.84 \times 10^{-3} \, m$
  • D
    $1.52 \times 10^{-4} \, m$

The uncertainties in the velocities of two particles,$A$ and $B$ are $0.05 \ ms^{-1}$ and $0.02 \ ms^{-1}$ respectively. The mass of $B$ is five times that of the mass of $A$. What is the ratio of uncertainties $\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B}$ in their positions?

If the position of the electron was measured with an accuracy of $\pm 0.002 \ nm$,the uncertainty in the momentum of it would be (in $kg \ ms^{-1}$) $(h=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s)$.

If the uncertainty in momentum and uncertainty in the position of a particle are equal,then the uncertainty in its velocity would be given by
