Heirenbergs uncertainty principle |
| Answer» According to the Heisenberg\'s Uncertainty principle, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and the exact momentum of an electron (microscopic particle) with absolute accuracy and certainty. Mathematically, it can be represented asΔx × Δpx ≥ h/4pieOr, Δx × Δ(mvx ) ≥ h/4pieOr, Δx × Δvx ≥ h/4pie ×mWhere,Δ x is the uncertainty in positionΔ vx is the uncertainty in velocityΔ px is the uncertainty in momentumIf the uncertainty in position (Δx) is less, then the uncertainty in momentum (Δpx ) would be large. On the other hand, if the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) is less, the uncertainty in position (Δx) would be large. | |
