If uncertainty in position and momentum are both equal, what will the uncertainty in velocity be?
\frac{1}{2m}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}
\sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi}}
\frac{1}{m}\sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}
\frac{h}{\pi}
According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the product of uncertainties in position () and momentum () is given by:
Given that , we substitute into the equation:
We know that uncertainty in momentum is related to uncertainty in velocity by . Substituting this:
Thus, the minimum uncertainty in velocity is .
