The measurement of the electron position is associated with an uncertainty in momentum which is equal to 1x10-18 g cm s-1. The uncertainty in velocity of the electron will be:

(mass of an electron is 9 x 10-28 g)

1. 1 x 109 cm s-1                     

2. 1 x 106 cm s-1

3. 1 x 105 cm s-1                     

4. 1 x 1011 cm s-1
