An excited state in a certain atom has an average lifetime


An excited state in a certain atom has an average lifetime of 5.2 × 10-10 s. What is the uncertainty in the energy of that state? [For comparison, atomic states typically have total energies of several eV.] The value of h is 1.06 × 10-34 J · s. Answer in units of eV.
