Correct answer
C2.1 10-28

Step-by-step explanation

According to Hysenberg's Uncertainty Principal $\Delta x . \Delta p \ge { h \over {4\pi}}$ Where is uncertainty in position and is uncertainty in momentum and as in momentum m (mass of object) is always same so we can say $\Delta x . m. \Delta v \ge { h \over {4\pi}}$ Mass of the particle (m) = 25 g = 0.025 kg

Position of the particle () = 10-5 m

=

= 2.1 10-28
