The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements provided and determine which one is correct. The statements relate to fundamental principles in physics, particularly concerning conservation laws and symmetries. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Statement:** - The first statement discusses the symmetry of nature with respect to translation in time, which is related to the law of conservation of energy. - According to Noether's theorem, symmetries in physics correspond to conservation laws. The translation in time leads to the conservation of energy. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Understanding the Second Statement:** - The second statement mentions the relationship between momentum and position, expressed as \( \Delta p \Delta x \equiv \hbar \). - This is a formulation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that the more precisely the position (x) of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum (p) can be known, and vice versa. - Thus, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Understanding the Third Statement:** - The third statement relates isotropy of space to the conservation of angular momentum, expressed as \( \Delta L \Delta \theta \equiv \hbar \). - Isotropy of space means that the laws of physics are the same in all directions. This symmetry leads to the conservation of angular momentum. - Hence, this statement is also **correct**. 4. **Analyzing the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement claims that all of the previous statements are correct. - Since we have established that the first, second, and third statements are indeed correct, the fourth statement must also be **correct**. ### Conclusion: All four statements are correct, making option four the right choice. ### Final Answer: **All of these are correct.** ---
