Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be explained as
Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be explained as
Options
- A(\Delta x \geq \frac{\Delta P \times h}{4 \pi})
- B(\Delta x \times \Delta P \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi})
- C(\Delta x \times \Delta P \geq \frac{h}{\pi})
- D(\Delta P \geq \frac{\pi h}{\Delta x})
Correct answer
B. (\Delta x \times \Delta P \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi})
Step-by-step solution
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the product of uncertainty in momentum ( (P) ) and in position ( (x)) remains constant.
(x P \geq )
