Homework Statement
The x coordinate of an electron is measured with an uncertainty of 0.200 mm. What is v_x, the x component of the electron's velocity, if the minimum percentage uncertainty in a simultaneous measurement of v_x is 1.00 %? Use the following expression for the uncertainty principle:
(Delta x * Delta p_x )> or = h/2pi,
where Delta x is the uncertainty in the x coordinate of a particle, Delta p_x is the particle's uncertainty in the x component of momentum, and where h is Planck's constant.
My attempt:
delta p_x = h/(2pi*delta x)
delta p_x=m* delta v_x ??
i dnt know if i am allowed to do this.. also if it is allowed i don't know what to do next..
