Solution

The correct option is C 1.93 cm
According to Heisenbergs uncertainity principle,
ΔxmΔv=h4Π
so,ΔxΔv=h4Πm
Hence, product of uncertainity in position and velocity=h4πm

Here,m=9.1×1028g,h=6.626×1027Js

now, product of uncertainity in position and velocity=6.626×1027/(4×3.14×9.1×1028×0.3)

=(6.626×1027)/(4×3.14×9.1×1027×0.3)

=1.93cm
