State the expression for Heisenberg.s uncertainty principle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The exact position and momentum of a moving microscopic particle cannot be calculated precisely at the same moment of time. If `Deltax` is the error in the measurement of position of the particle and if `Deltap` is the error in the measurement of momentum of the particle, then:
`Deltax.Deltap ge h/(4pi)` or `Deltax.(mDeltav) ge h/(4pi)`
where, `Deltax`=uncertainty in position
`Deltap`=uncertainty in momentum
`h`=Plank's constant
`m` = mass of the particle
`Deltav`= uncertainty in velocity.

It is not possible to determine precisely both the position and momentum (or velocity) of a small moving particle such as electron, proton etc. This is known as Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The mathematical form of this principle is : Delta x.Delta p ge (h)/(4pi) (constant) However this principle is irrelevant in case of bigger particles such as a cup, ball, car etc., that we come across in our daily life. If uncertainty in position and momentum are equal, the v uncertainty in velocity would be
