Assuming an electron is confined to a 1 nm wide region, find the uncertainty in momentum using Heisenberg uncertainty principle (∆x x∆p=h). You can assume the uncertainty in position ∆x as 1 nm. Assuming p = ∆p, find the energy of the electron in electron volts.

h/√2mk? = (1/2.3) × h/√2mk?
=> k? = (2.3)²k? = 5.25k? (ii)
Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25
=> Φ = 3eV
