$A$ sodium atom is in one of the states labeled 'Lowest excited levels'. It remains in that state for an average time of $10^{-8} \, s$,before it makes a transition back to a ground state. What is the uncertainty in energy of that excited state?

Given below are two statements :-
Statement $I$ : Davisson-Germer experiment establishes the wave nature of electrons.
Statement $II$ : If electrons have wave nature,they can interfere and show diffraction.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The wave nature of electrons suggests that they will produce diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer experimentally proved this by diffracting electrons from a crystal. The law of diffraction from a crystal is obtained from the constructive interference of electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in the crystal. Electrons accelerated by a potential $V$ are diffracted by a crystal. If $d = 1 \ \mathring{A}$ and $i = 30^\circ$,then the value of $V$ should be ........... $V$. $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C)$
