D
$3 \times 10^{-22} \ m/s$

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \times \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4 \pi}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \times \Delta v$,the formula becomes $\Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \pi \times m \times \Delta x}$.
Given: $m = 10 \ g = 0.01 \ kg$,$\Delta x = 10^{-5} \ m$,$h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.1416 \times 0.01 \times 10^{-5}}$.

Given: $\Delta x = 10^{-5} \ m$,$m = 0.25 \ g = 0.25 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$,$h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$.
Rearranging for $\Delta v$: $\Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \times \pi \times \Delta x \times m}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.25 \times 10^{-3}}$.
$\Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{3.14 \times 10^{-7}} \approx 2.1 \times 10^{-27} \ m/s$ (Note: Based on the provided options,the calculation yields $2.1 \times 10^{-29} \ m/s$ if mass is taken as $0.25 \ g$ without conversion to $kg$,or if the exponent is adjusted accordingly.

A
$2.8 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2 \ s^{-1}$

C
$5.8 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2 \ s^{-1}$
D
$6.8 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2 \ s^{-1}$

Solution

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,the relation is $\Delta x \times \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \times \Delta v$,the equation becomes $\Delta x \times \Delta v \times m = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Therefore,the product of uncertainties in position and velocity is $\Delta x \times \Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \pi \times m}$.
Given: $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ kg \ m^2 \ s^{-1}$,$m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$,and $\pi = 3.14$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x \times \Delta v = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$.
$\Delta x \times \Delta v = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{114.296 \times 10^{-31}} \approx 0.058 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2 \ s^{-1} = 5.8 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2 \ s^{-1}$.

A
$\frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta \nu}$
B
$\frac{4\pi}{hm \Delta \nu}$
C
$\frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta \nu}$
D
$\frac{4\pi m}{h \Delta \nu}$

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and exact momentum (or velocity) of an electron.
The mathematical expression is given by $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p_x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Since momentum $\Delta p_x = m \Delta \nu$,we substitute this into the equation:
$\Delta x \cdot m \Delta \nu \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Rearranging for the uncertainty in position $(\Delta x)$:
$\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta \nu}$.

Quantum numbers of an atom can be defined on the basis of
A
Hund's rule
B
Aufbau's principle
C
Pauli's exclusion principle
D
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Solution

(C) Quantum numbers are derived from the solution of the $Schr\ddot{o}dinger$ wave equation for the hydrogen atom. These numbers describe the size,shape,and orientation of orbitals,as well as the spin of electrons. While the principles listed in the options (Hund's rule,Aufbau's principle,Pauli's exclusion principle) govern the filling of electrons in orbitals,the quantum numbers themselves are fundamental mathematical solutions to the wave equation,which is consistent with the quantum mechanical model of the atom.

The uncertainty in the position of an electron (mass = $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$) moving with a velocity of $300 \, ms^{-1}$ with an accuracy of $0.001 \%$ is ...... $(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, Js)$
A
$5.76 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
B
$1.92 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
C
$3.84 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
D
$19.2 \times 10^{-2} \, m$

Solution

(B) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given velocity $v = 300 \, ms^{-1}$ and accuracy $= 0.001 \%$.
Uncertainty in velocity $\Delta v = \frac{0.001}{100} \times 300 = 3 \times 10^{-3} \, ms^{-1}$.
Using $\Delta x = \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta v}$:
$\Delta x = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 3 \times 10^{-3}}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{342.31 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 0.01937 \, m \approx 1.92 \times 10^{-2} \, m$.

If the uncertainty in position and momentum are equal,then the uncertainty in velocity is .......
A
$\frac{1}{m}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$
B
$\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$
C
$\frac{1}{2m}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi}}$

Solution

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geqslant \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given that the uncertainty in position $(\Delta x)$ is equal to the uncertainty in momentum $(\Delta p)$,we have $\Delta x = \Delta p$.
Substituting this into the equation: $(\Delta p)^2 = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Taking the square root: $\Delta p = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v$,we have $m \cdot \Delta v = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$.
Therefore,the uncertainty in velocity is $\Delta v = \frac{1}{2m}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$.

MediumMCQ
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is not applicable to which of the following?
A
Moving electron
B
Motor car
C
Stationary particle
D
Both motor car and stationary particle

Solution

(D) Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
This principle is significant only for microscopic particles like electrons,protons,etc.
For macroscopic objects like a $motor \ car$,the mass is so large that the uncertainty in position and velocity becomes negligible.
For a $stationary \ particle$,the uncertainty in position is zero,which contradicts the principle's requirement for moving quantum particles.
Therefore,the principle is not applicable to both macroscopic objects and stationary particles.

MediumMCQ
Which of the following is the correct formula for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
A
$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$
B
$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p = \frac{h}{4\pi}$
C
$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \le \frac{h}{4\pi}$
D
$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p < \frac{h}{4\pi}$

Solution

(A) The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the exact position and the exact momentum of a subatomic particle.
Mathematically,it is expressed as $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$,where $\Delta x$ is the uncertainty in position,$\Delta p$ is the uncertainty in momentum,and $h$ is Planck's constant.

The correct form of the $Schrodinger$ wave equation for an electron,as derived by $Erwin$ $Schrodinger$,is:
A
$\frac{d^2\Psi}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dz^2} + \frac{8\pi m}{h^2}(V - E)\Psi = 0$
B
$\frac{d^2\Psi}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dz^2} + \frac{8\pi^2 m}{h^2}(E - V)\Psi = 0$
C
$\frac{d^2\Psi}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dz^2} + \frac{8\pi^2 m}{h^2}(V - E)\Psi = 0$
D
$\frac{d^2\Psi}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dz^2} + \frac{8\pi^2 m}{h}(E - V)\Psi = 0$

Solution

(B) The $Schrodinger$ wave equation for a system (like an electron in an atom) is given by the expression: $\frac{d^2\Psi}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2\Psi}{dz^2} + \frac{8\pi^2 m}{h^2}(E - V)\Psi = 0$.
Here,$\Psi$ is the wave function,$E$ is the total energy,$V$ is the potential energy,$m$ is the mass of the electron,and $h$ is $Planck's$ constant.
Thus,option $B$ is the correct representation.

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

Solution

(C) The uncertainty in velocity is given by $\Delta v = \frac{0.005}{100} \times 600 = 0.03 \, m/s$.
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,$\Delta x \cdot \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta v} = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.1416 \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \times 0.03}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{3.432 \times 10^{-31}} \approx 1.93 \times 10^{-3} \, m$.

$1 \times 10^{-9} \ \text{cm}$
B
$2.5 \times 10^{-10} \ \text{cm}$
C
$5 \times 10^{-10} \ \text{cm}$
D
$1 \times 10^{-10} \ \text{cm}$

Solution

(B) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given: $\Delta p_x = \frac{1}{2} \Delta p_y$ and $\Delta x_x = 0.05 \ \mathring{A}$.
For particle $x$: $\Delta x_x \cdot \Delta p_x = \frac{h}{4\pi} \implies 0.05 \cdot \Delta p_x = \frac{h}{4\pi} \implies \Delta p_x = \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot 0.05}$.
Since $\Delta p_x = \frac{1}{2} \Delta p_y$,then $\Delta p_y = 2 \cdot \Delta p_x = 2 \cdot \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot 0.05} = \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot 0.025}$.
For particle $y$: $\Delta x_y \cdot \Delta p_y = \frac{h}{4\pi} \implies \Delta x_y = \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot \Delta p_y} = \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot (\frac{h}{4\pi \cdot 0.025})} = 0.025 \ \mathring{A}$.
Converting to cm: $0.025 \ \mathring{A} = 0.025 \times 10^{-8} \ \text{cm} = 2.5 \times 10^{-10} \ \text{cm}$.

In a $He$ atom,the uncertainty in the position of an $e^-$ is equal to the uncertainty in its momentum $\Delta p$. If the value of $\Delta p$ for the $e^-$ is $32 \times 10^5$,then the value of $\Delta p$ for the $He$ atom is .....
A
$32 \times 10^{-6}$
B
$32 \times 10^5$
C
$37 \times 10^4$
D
$34 \times 10^3$

Solution

(B) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,$\Delta x \times \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given that the uncertainty in position $\Delta x$ is equal to the uncertainty in momentum $\Delta p$ for the electron,i.e.,$\Delta x = \Delta p$.
Substituting this into the equation: $(\Delta p)^2 = \frac{h}{4\pi}$,so $\Delta p = \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi}}$.
Since the question states the uncertainty in position of the $He$ atom is equal to the uncertainty in its momentum,and the numerical value provided for the electron's uncertainty is $32 \times 10^5$,the value for the $He$ atom remains the same under the given condition.
Therefore,$\Delta p_{He} = 32 \times 10^5$.

$\Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \pi \Delta x \cdot m}$
$\Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14159 \times 10^{-10} \times 0.150}$
$\Delta v = 3.51 \times 10^{-24} \, m s^{-1}$

Given: $m = 0.02 \, kg$,$\Delta v = 9.218 \times 10^{-6} \, m/s$,and $h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14159 \times 0.02 \times 9.218 \times 10^{-6}}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{2.313 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 2.86 \times 10^{-28} \, m$.

The uncertainties in the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ are $0.05 \, m/s$ and $0.02 \, m/s$,respectively. If the mass of particle $B$ is five times that of particle $A$,then the ratio of the uncertainties in their positions $\left( \frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} \right)$ is equal to:
A
$2$
B
$0.25$
C
$4$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,$\Delta x \times m \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
For particle $A$: $\Delta x_A \times m_A \times \Delta v_A = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given $\Delta v_A = 0.05 \, m/s$ and $m_A = m$,so $\Delta x_A \times m \times 0.05 = \frac{h}{4\pi} \dots (1)$.
For particle $B$: $\Delta x_B \times m_B \times \Delta v_B = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given $\Delta v_B = 0.02 \, m/s$ and $m_B = 5m$,so $\Delta x_B \times 5m \times 0.02 = \frac{h}{4\pi} \dots (2)$.
Dividing equation $(1)$ by equation $(2)$:
$\frac{\Delta x_A \times m \times 0.05}{\Delta x_B \times 5m \times 0.02} = \frac{h/4\pi}{h/4\pi} = 1$.
$\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} \times \frac{0.05}{0.1} = 1$.
$\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} \times 0.5 = 1$.
$\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} = \frac{1}{0.5} = 2$.

Assertion $(A)$: The probability of finding an electron in a small volume around a point $(x, y, z)$ at a distance $r$ from the nucleus is proportional to $\psi^2$.
Reason $(R)$: Subatomic particles possess both particle and wave nature.
A
$A$ and $R$ are both true,and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
B
$A$ and $R$ are both true,but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
C
$A$ is true,but $R$ is false.
D
$A$ is false,but $R$ is true.

Solution

(B) The probability density of finding an electron at a point $(x, y, z)$ is given by $\psi^2(x, y, z)$. Thus,Assertion $(A)$ is true.
Subatomic particles exhibit dual behavior (particle and wave nature) as proposed by de Broglie. Thus,Reason $(R)$ is true.
However,the dual nature of matter (Reason $R$) is a fundamental concept,but it is not the direct explanation for why the probability density is defined as $\psi^2$. The definition of $\psi^2$ as probability density is a postulate of quantum mechanics. Therefore,$R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.

B
$2.1 \times 10^{-29}$
C
$1.6 \times 10^{-20}$
D
$1.7 \times 10^{-9}$

Solution

(B) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \times \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$
Since $\Delta p = m \times \Delta v$,the equation becomes: $\Delta x \times m \times \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}$
Given: $m = 0.25 \, kg$,$\Delta x = 10^{-5} \, m$,$h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$
$\Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \times \pi \times \Delta x \times m}$
$\Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14159 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.25}$
$\Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{3.14159 \times 10^{-5}} \approx 2.1 \times 10^{-29} \, m/s$

A
$1.200$
B
$0.109$
C
$1.750$
D
$0.099$

Solution

(D) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:
$\Delta x \cdot m \cdot \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}$
Rearranging for mass $(m)$:
$m = \frac{h}{4\pi \cdot \Delta x \cdot \Delta v}$
Substituting the given values:
$m = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14159 \times 10^{-10} \times 5.27 \times 10^{-24}}$
$m = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{6.625 \times 10^{-33}}$
$m = 0.1 \ kg$ (approximately $0.099 \ kg$ based on the provided constants).
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

C
$3.66 \times 10^{-4} \, cm$
D

Solution

(D) Given: Mass $m = 10^{-11} \, g$,Velocity $u = 10^{-4} \, cm \, sec^{-1}$,Error in velocity $= 0.1 \%$.
Uncertainty in velocity $\Delta u = \frac{0.1}{100} \times 10^{-4} = 10^{-7} \, cm \, sec^{-1}$.
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p = \frac{h}{4 \pi}$ or $\Delta x \cdot m \Delta u = \frac{h}{4 \pi}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta u}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-27} \, erg \cdot sec}{4 \times 3.1416 \times 10^{-11} \, g \times 10^{-7} \, cm \, sec^{-1}}$.

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m_e}$.
Given velocity $v = 600 \, m/s$ and accuracy $= 0.005\%$.
Uncertainty in velocity $\Delta v = 600 \times \frac{0.005}{100} = 0.03 \, m/s$.
Using the formula: $\Delta x = \frac{h}{4 \pi m_e \Delta v}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.1416 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 0.03}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{3.424 \times 10^{-30}} \approx 1.927 \times 10^{-3} \, m$.

$\Delta x \geqslant \frac{6.626}{12.5664} \times 10^{-24} \, cm$

Solution

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geqslant \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given that the uncertainty in position $\Delta x = 0$.
Substituting this into the equation: $0 \cdot \Delta p \geqslant \frac{h}{4\pi}$.

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v$,the formula becomes $\Delta x \cdot m \cdot \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given: $m = 25 \, g = 0.025 \, kg = 25 \times 10^{-3} \, kg$,$\Delta x = 10^{-5} \, m$,$h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta v = \frac{h}{4 \pi \cdot \Delta x \cdot m}$.
$\Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-5} \times 25 \times 10^{-3}}$.

A
$1.92$
B
$7.68$
C
$5.76$
D
$3.84$

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given: $m = 9.1 \times 10^{-28} \ g$,$v = 3.0 \times 10^4 \ cm \ s^{-1}$,and accuracy is $0.001\%$.
First,calculate the uncertainty in velocity $(\Delta v)$:
$\Delta v = v \times \frac{0.001}{100} = 3.0 \times 10^4 \times 10^{-5} = 0.3 \ cm \ s^{-1}$.
Now,calculate the uncertainty in momentum $(\Delta p)$:
$\Delta p = m \times \Delta v = 9.1 \times 10^{-28} \times 0.3 = 2.73 \times 10^{-28} \ g \ cm \ s^{-1}$.
Using the uncertainty principle formula:
$\Delta x = \frac{h}{4 \pi \cdot m \cdot \Delta v} = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-27}}{4 \times 3.1416 \times 2.73 \times 10^{-28}}$.
$\Delta x = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-27}}{34.287 \times 10^{-28}} = \frac{66.26}{34.287} \approx 1.93 \ cm$.

The position of both an electron and a helium atom is known within $1.0 \, nm$ and the momentum of the electron is known within $50 \times 10^{-26} \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$. The minimum uncertainty in the measurement of the momentum of the helium atom is
A
$50 \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$
B
$60 \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$
C
$80 \times 10^{-26} \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$
D
$50 \times 10^{-26} \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$

Solution

(D) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,the product of uncertainty in position $(\Delta x)$ and uncertainty in momentum $(\Delta p)$ is given by: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Since the uncertainty in position $(\Delta x)$ is the same for both the electron and the helium atom $(1.0 \, nm)$,the uncertainty in momentum $(\Delta p)$ must also be the same for both particles to satisfy the inequality.
Given that the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron is $50 \times 10^{-26} \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$,the minimum uncertainty in the measurement of the momentum of the helium atom will also be $50 \times 10^{-26} \, kg \, m \, s^{-1}$.

B
$ \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}} $
C
$ \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}} $
D
$ \sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi}} $

Solution

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:
$ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} $
Given that uncertainty in position $( \Delta x )$ and momentum $( \Delta p )$ are equal,i.e.,$ \Delta x = \Delta p $.
Substituting this into the equation:
$ (\Delta p)^{2} = \frac{h}{4 \pi} $
Since $ \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v $:
$ (m \cdot \Delta v)^{2} = \frac{h}{4 \pi} $
$ m^{2} \cdot (\Delta v)^{2} = \frac{h}{4 \pi} $
$ (\Delta v)^{2} = \frac{h}{4 \pi m^{2}} $
Taking the square root on both sides:
$ \Delta v = \sqrt{\frac{h}{4 \pi m^{2}}} $
$ \Delta v = \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}} $

Given $\Delta p = 1 \times 10^{-18} \ g \ cm \ s^{-1}$ and $m = 9 \times 10^{-28} \ g$.
Substituting these values into the equation:
$1 \times 10^{-18} = (9 \times 10^{-28}) \times \Delta v$
$\Delta v = \frac{1 \times 10^{-18}}{9 \times 10^{-28}} \ cm \ s^{-1}$

Solution

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: $\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given that the uncertainty in position and momentum are equal,$\Delta x = \Delta p$.
Substituting this into the equation: $(\Delta p)^2 = \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Therefore,$\Delta p = \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi}} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v$,the uncertainty in velocity is $\Delta v = \frac{\Delta p}{m}$.
Substituting the value of $\Delta p$: $\Delta v = \frac{1}{m} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}} = \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$.
