Estimate the uncertainty in the momentum


Discuss the below:

Q: Uncertainty in the momentum of an electron and a proton

(a) Estimate the uncertainty in the momentum of an electron whose location is uncertain by a distance of 2 Angstrom. What is the uncertainty in the momentum of a proton under the same conditions?

(b) What can one conclude about the relative velocities and energies of the electron and proton in the last problem? Are wave phenomena apt to be more apparent for light particles than for heavy ones?
