If the uncertainties in position and momentum are equal, then the uncertainty in position is given by ____(a) √h/4π(b) √h4π(c) √h/4(d) √h/πI have been asked this question in an internship interview.This intriguing question originated from Towards Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom in portion Structure of Atom of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (a) √h/4π

The BEST I can EXPLAIN: As we know, Heisenberg’s PRINCIPLE of uncertainty states that Δx. Δp ≥ h/4π, X is position, P is momentum and “h” is the Planck’s constant. Δx = Δp; Δx. Δx = h/4π; Δx = √h/4π
