Question

State Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Answer 1

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:

• According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, there is inherent uncertainty in the act of measuring a particle's variable.
• The idea applies to a particle's location and momentum.
• The concept states that the more accurately the location is known, the more uncertain the momentum, and vice versa.
• The Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg applies to both energy and time.
• These uncertainties are always present in conjugate couples like momentum/position and energy/time.
• The mathematical representation is as follows:

$\mathrm{\Delta x}.\mathrm{\Delta P}\ge \frac{\mathrm{h}}{4\mathrm{\pi }}$

• $\mathrm{\Delta x}=$uncertainty in the position, $\mathrm{\Delta P}=$ uncertainty in the momentum, $\mathrm{h}=$ Planck's constant.
