Question

Consider a proton confined within typical nuclear dimensions of 5×10^(−15) m. Estimate the minimum kinetic energy of the proton. Repeat this calculation for an electron confined within typical nuclear dimensions. Comment briefly on the physical significance of your results, given that the nuclear binding energy for a proton is typically in the range 1−10 MeV
