For an electron whose position is known to within 0.10 nm0.10\,\text{nm}, calculate the minimum possible uncertainty in its momentum. (Take h=6.626×10−34 J sh = 6.626\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}; give your answer to two significant figures.) (a) 3.3×10−24 kg m s−13.3\times10^{-24}\,\text{kg m s}^{-1} (b) 1.1×10−24 kg m s−11.1\times10^{-24}\,\text{kg m s}^{-1} (c) 5.3×10−25 kg m s−15.3\times10^{-25}\,\text{kg m s}^{-1} (d) 2.6×10−25 kg m s−12.6\times10^{-25}\,\text{kg m s}^{-1}
