Based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the position and velocity of a particle cannot be determined simultaneously with accuracy.
In other words, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the more accurately we know the position of a particle the less accurately we can know its velocity. Mathematically it is given as:
Δx.mΔv >= h/2π
where: Δx = uncertainty in position
m = mass
Δv = uncertainty in velocity
h = plancks constant
Answer:
The more accurately we know the position of a particle, the less accurately we can know the velocity of that particle.
Explanation:
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that:
- The De Broglie wavelength of an electron is related to its velocity. NO. This is true according to the following expression.
c = λ . v
where,
c: speed of light
λ: wavelength
v: frequency
But this is not Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
- The more accurately we know the position of a particle, the less accurately we can know the velocity of that particle. YES. The corresponding mathematical expression is:
Δv . Δx = h / 4πm
where,
Δv: uncertainty in the velocity
Δx: uncertainty in the position
h: Planck's constant
m: mass
- An electron is actually something intermediate between a particle and a wave. NO. This is known as wave-particle duality.
- Complementary properties are those properties that can be measured simultaneously. NO. The complementary properties can be defined as those properties which cannot be simultaneously measured and observed.
