Semi-quantitatively, what is the greatest resolving
limit
that a probe could have and still unambiguously identify the
location of the particle as being in the forbidden region? What
uncertainty would the measurement of the particle m by this probe induce
in the momentum of the particle? How much kinetic energy would such a
measurement typically deliver to the particle? Is this of the right
magnitude (as claimed in lecture) to increase the energy of the particle
to the point where it may be observed classically?
