Explain Heisenberg's uncertainty principle .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle : "It is not possible to determine simultaneously and accurately both the position and momentum (or velocity ) of a microscopic moving particel like electron , proton etc . "
Mathematically it can be expressed as ,
`Delta"x"xxDeltapge(h)/(4pi)`
Where
`Deltax` = uncertainty involved in the positon
`Deltap` = uncertainty in momentum and h = Planck's constant .
