Question 2 1 pts Due to the small size of the subatomic particles, the only way scientists learned to probe them is to use photons. Based on the implications of the particle-like behavior of photons, this greatly changed how scientists thought about their experiments. In order to obtain more precise measurements, scientists had continued to use higher energy photons. Due to the larger momentum associated with higher energy photons, this meant that the measurements would more greatly alter the momentum of the subatomic particle after the measurement was made. For a particular atom, the electron is estimated to travel at a speed of 4.14 X 10³ km/s with an error of 3.72%. How uncertain would the electron's position measurement be in units of nanometers? Round your final answer to two significant figures.
