The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **State the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle**: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle asserts that it is impossible to measure simultaneously the exact position and momentum of a small moving particle with absolute accuracy. This principle highlights a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, known as complementary variables or canonically conjugate variables, can be known. 2. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Position (x)**: The location of the particle in space. - **Momentum (p)**: The product of the mass (m) of the particle and its velocity (v), expressed as \( p = mv \). - **Uncertainty in Position (\( \Delta x \))**: The degree of uncertainty in the measurement of the particle's position. - **Uncertainty in Momentum (\( \Delta p \))**: The degree of uncertainty in the measurement of the particle's momentum. 3. **Equation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle**: The mathematical representation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is given by: \[ \Delta p \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \( \Delta p \) is the uncertainty in momentum, - \( \Delta x \) is the uncertainty in position, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\)). 4. **Rewriting the Equation**: The uncertainty in momentum can also be expressed in terms of mass and velocity: \[ \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v \] Therefore, the equation can be rewritten as: \[ m \cdot \Delta v \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( \Delta v \) is the uncertainty in velocity. ### Summary: - The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to measure both the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously with absolute accuracy. - The equation representing this principle is: \[ \Delta p \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \]

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. In case of small microscopic particles, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle rules out simultaneous exact determination of their
