The uncertainty in the position of an electron and a helium atom is the same. If the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron is $32 \times 10^5$,then the uncertainty in the momentum of the helium atom is:

  • A
    $32 \times 10^5$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^5$
  • C
    $8 \times 10^5$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^5$
