Note: Answers to all odd-numbered Problems, numbered in blue, can be found in Appendix III. Exercises in the Problems by Topic section are paired, with each odd-numbered problem followed by a similar even-numbered problem. Exercises in the Cumulative Problems section are also paired but more loosely. Because of their nature, Challenge Problems and Conceptual Problems are unpaired.

The Wave Nature of Matter and the Uncertainty Principle

An electron has an uncertainty in its position of 552 pm. What is the uncertainty in its velocity? (Hint: \(\Delta x=552 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\); use Equation 2.5 to calculate \(\Delta v\).)
