If uncertainty in position and momentum ...

If uncertainty in position and momentum are equal then uncertainty in velocity is.

A

`sqrt((h)/(pi))`

B

`sqrt(h)/(2pi)`

C

`(1)/(2m)sqrt((h)/(pi))`

D

`(1)/(m)sqrt((h)/(pi))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Deltax*Deltap ge (h)/(4pi)`
`Deltap ge sqrt((h)/(4pi))` . . . When `Deltax=Deltap`
`mDeltavgesqrt((h)/(4pi))` ltbgt `Deltavge(1)/(2m)sqrt((h)/(2pi))`

It is not possible to determine preciselt both the position and momentum (or velocity) of a small moving particle such as electron, proton etc. This is known as Heisenber uncertainty principle. The mathemactical form of this principle is : Delta x.Delta p ge (h)/(4pi) (constant) However this principle is irrevalent in case of bigger particles such as a cup, ball, car etc., that we come across in our daily life. If uncertainty in position and momentum are equal, the v uncertainty in velocity would be

If uncertainties in position and momentum are equal , the uncertainty of velocity is given by :

Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how precisely we can measure the properties of an electron or other microscopic particle. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how closely we can measure both position and momentum. The more accurately we measure the momentum of a particle, the less accurately we can determine its position. The converse also true. This is summed up in what we now call the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The equation si deltax.delta (mv)ge(h)/(4pi) The uncertainty in the position or in the momentum of a marcroscopic object like a baseball is too small to observe. However, the mass of microscopic object such as an electon is small enough for the uncertainty to be relatively large and significant. If the uncertainties in position and momentum are equal, the uncertainty in the velocity is :

If the uncertainties in position and momentum are equal, the uncertainty in the velocity is:

If uncertainty in position are velocity are equal the uncertainty in momentum will be

A german physicist gae a principle about the uncertainties in simultaneous measurement of position and momentum of small particles. According to that physicist. It is impossible to measure simultaneously the position and momentum of small particle with absolute accuracy or certainty. if an attempt is made to measure any one of these two quantities with higher accuracy, the other becomes less accurate. The produce of the uncertainty in position (Deltax) and uncertainty momentum (Delta p) is always constant and is equal to or greater than h//4pi , where h is Planck's constant i.e. (Deltax ) (Deltap) ge (h)/(4pi) If uncertainty in momentum is twice the uncertainty in position of an electron then uncertainty in velocity is: [bar(h)=(h)/(2pi)]

Calculate the uncertainty in the position of an electron if the uncertainty in its velocity is 5.77xx10^(5) m s^(-1) .

If uncertainties in the measurement of position and momentum are equal, then uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is
