To calculate the uncertainty in the position of a dust particle using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the uncertainty in position (Δx) and the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) are related by the equation: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \( \Delta x \) = uncertainty in position - \( \Delta p \) = uncertainty in momentum ...
