Understanding the wave particle duality using problem
An electron of energy 200 eV is passed through a circular hole of radius 10^-4 cm. Find the uncertainty introduced in the angle of emergence? What would be the corresponding uncertainty for a 0.1 g lead ball thrown with a velocity 10^3 cm/s through a hole of 1 cm radius?
This is a classical problem on the wave particle duality and Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle.
