MCQ
According to the uncertainty principle for an electron, time measurement will become uncertain if which of the following is measured with high certainty?
  • A
    Energy
  • B
    Momentum
  • C
    Location
  • D
    Velocity

Answer

  1. Energy

Explanation:

According to the uncertainty principle,

$\triangle\text{E}.\triangle\text{t}>=\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}.$

Thus the time measured will become uncertain if $\triangle\text{E}$ is measured with high certainty.
