AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the minimum uncertainty in the momentum and velocity of an electron confined in a quantum wire of 150 nm. The uncertainty principle is applied, specifically the relation between position and momentum uncertainties. The user initially calculates the uncertainty in momentum but arrives at an incorrect value. There is confusion regarding the correct application of the uncertainty principle, particularly whether to use h or h/2π. Clarification on these calculations is sought to resolve the issue.

Homework Statement


An electron is confined to a "quantum wire" of length 150 nm. what is the minimum uncertainty in the electron's momentum component along the length of the wire? What is the minimum uncertainty in the electron's velocity component along the length of the wire?


Homework Equations


(uncertainty in x coordinate of position)(uncertainty in x component of momentum) > or equal to 1/2pi

I used 150 x 10^-9 for change in x and solved but got 3.52 x 10^-28 but this is wrong

how do i do this? thanks

(uncertainty in x coordinate of position)(uncertainty in x component of momentum) > or equal to 1/2pi ?

isn't it h/2pi ?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
