To solve the problem using the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the uncertainty in position (Δx) and the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) of a particle are related by the equation: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] ...
