State Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. If the uncertainties in the measurement of position and momentum of an electron are equal calculate the uncertainty in measuring the velocity.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **State Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle**: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) of a particle with perfect accuracy. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ Δx \cdot Δp \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant. ...
