Calculate the minimum values of momentum and velocity uncert

Calculate the minimum values of momentum and velocity uncertainties, delta p_x and delta ?_? = delta_px, for a bound electron in an atom, where delta x = 0.053 nm. The electron mass is 9.1 times 10^-31 kg, and h = 6.626 times 10^-34 J s. Now we consider that delta p_x is really the root-mean-square deviation in p_x: delta p_x = ((Delta p_x)^2)^1/2 with Delta p_x = px - (px) Here, the pointed brackets (...) represent quantum-mechanical averaging (\"expectation value\"). Treat this like a statistical average in the following: Calculate the minimum values of momentum and velocity uncertainties, delta p_x and delta ?_? = delta_px, for a bound electron in an atom, where deltax = 0.053 nm.

Solution

A) according to uncertainty relation p_x x = /2

p_x = h /(4pi x) = 6.626x10³⁴ /(4x3.14x0.053x10⁹)=9.9537×10^-25

px = 9.9537×10^-25

vx = px /m = 9.9537×10^-25 / 9.1×10^-31 =1.09×10⁶
