The measurement of the electron position is associated with an uncertainty in momentum,which is equal to $1 \times 10^{-18} \ g \ cm \ s^{-1}$. The uncertainty in electron velocity is (mass of an electron is $9 \times 10^{-28} \ g$):

  • A
    $1 \times 10^5 \ cm \ s^{-1}$
  • B
    $1 \times 10^{11} \ cm \ s^{-1}$
  • C
    $1 \times 10^9 \ cm \ s^{-1}$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^6 \ cm \ s^{-1}$
