To solve the problem of determining the accuracy with which the position of a particle can be determined given the uncertainty in its momentum, we will use the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the product of the uncertainties in position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) of a particle is greater than or equal to a constant value: \[ \Delta p \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant. ...
