The uncertainty of velocity of an electron is $5.7 \times 10^5 \ m \ s^{-1}$. Find its uncertainty in position.

The uncertainties in the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ are $0.05 \, m/s$ and $0.02 \, m/s$,respectively. If the mass of particle $B$ is five times that of particle $A$,then the ratio of the uncertainties in their positions $\left( \frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} \right)$ is equal to:

What is the nature of the solution to the $Schrodinger$ wave equation for multi-electron atoms? How is it handled?

Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I):$ It is impossible to specify simultaneously with arbitrary precision,both the linear momentum and the position of a particle.
Statement $(II) :$ If the uncertainty in the measurement of position and uncertainty in measurement of momentum are equal for an electron,then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is $\geq \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi}} \times \frac{1}{m}$ which simplifies to $\geq \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$
