The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that the product of the uncertainties in position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) of a particle is always greater than or equal to a constant value. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ Δx \cdot Δp \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant. ### Step 2: Relate momentum to velocity Momentum (p) can be expressed in terms of mass (m) and velocity (v): \[ p = m \cdot v \] Thus, the uncertainty in momentum can be expressed as: \[ Δp = m \cdot Δv \] where \( Δv \) is the uncertainty in velocity. ### Step 3: Substitute into the uncertainty principle Substituting the expression for momentum into the uncertainty principle gives: \[ Δx \cdot (m \cdot Δv) \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the case when Δx = 0 If we consider the case where the uncertainty in position (Δx) is zero: \[ 0 \cdot (m \cdot Δv) \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] This leads to: \[ 0 \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] This is not possible, as \( \frac{h}{4\pi} \) is a positive constant. ### Step 5: Conclude about Δv To satisfy the inequality, if Δx is zero, then Δv must approach infinity. This means that if we have no uncertainty in position, the uncertainty in velocity becomes infinitely large. ### Final Answer Thus, according to Heisenberg's principle, if Δx is zero, then Δv will be infinite.

Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how precisely we can measure the properties of an electron or other microscopic particle. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how closely we can measure both position and momentum. The more accurately we measure the momentum of a particle, the less accurately we can determine its position. The converse also true. This is summed up in what we now call the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The equation si deltax.delta (mv)ge(h)/(4pi) The uncertainty in the position or in the momentum of a marcroscopic object like a baseball is too small to observe. However, the mass of microscopic object such as an electon is small enough for the uncertainty to be relatively large and significant.
