We learned in Section 1.13 that the uncertainty principle can sometimes be used to estimate the energy required to “bind” or conne a particle to a particular region of space. Suppose that a volume of space has a diameter of 1 × 10−12 cm. What is the minimum connement energy of this particle if its rest mass is 1 × 10−24 g?
