What is the maximum precision with which the momentum of an electron can be known if the uncertainty in the position of electron is ±0.001 A˚\pm 0.001 \text{ \AA} ? Will there be any problem in describing the momentum if it has a value of h2πa0\frac{h}{2\pi a_0} , where a0a_0 is Bohr's radius of first orbit, i.e., 0.529 A˚0.529 \text{ \AA} ?
