A measurement of the energy E of an intermediate nucleus must be made within the mean lifetime

Question:

A measurement of the energy E of an intermediate nucleus must be made within the mean lifetime Δt of the nucleus and necessarily carries an uncertainty ΔE according to the uncertainty principle
ΔE ∙ Δt = h
(a) What is the uncertainty E in the energy for an intermediate nucleus if the nucleus has a mean lifetime of 10-22 s?
(b) Is the nucleus a compound nucleus?
