To solve the problem, we will use the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that the product of the uncertainties in position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) is greater than or equal to a constant: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] Where: - \( \Delta x \) is the uncertainty in position. ...
