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?
