To solve the problem, we will use the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that the uncertainty in position (Δx) multiplied by the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) is greater than or equal to a constant, given by: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, approximately \( 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \). ...
