$A$ sodium atom is in one of the states labeled 'Lowest excited levels'. It remains in that state for an average time of $10^{-8} \, s$,before it makes a transition back to a ground state. What is the uncertainty in energy of that excited state?

  • A
    $6.56 \times 10^{-8} \, eV$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-8} \, eV$
  • C
    $10^{-8} \, eV$
  • D
    $8 \times 10^{-8} \, eV$
