The correct Answer is:
To determine the answer to the question "Heisenberg uncertainty principle is not valid for:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the principle itself. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle**: - The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) of a microscopic particle with perfect accuracy. The relationship is given by the equation: \[ Δx \cdot Δp \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] - Here, \(h\) is Planck's constant. 2. **Identify the Types of Particles**: - The principle is primarily applicable to microscopic particles such as electrons, protons, and atoms. It does not apply to macroscopic objects. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1: Moving electron**: This is a microscopic particle, so the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is valid here. - **Option 2: Motor car**: This is a macroscopic object. The principle does not apply to macroscopic objects. - **Option 3: Stationary particles**: Stationary particles are not moving, and the principle is not valid for objects at rest. - **Option 4: Both 2 and 3**: This option combines the previous two, indicating that the principle is not valid for both a motor car and stationary particles. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is not valid for macroscopic objects (like a motor car) and stationary particles, the correct answer is **Option 4: Both 2 and 3**. ### Final Answer: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is not valid for **both a motor car and stationary particles** (Option 4). ---
