To calculate the mass of the particle using the uncertainty principle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the product of the uncertainty in position (Δx) and the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) is equal to or greater than a constant value. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: ...
