The product of uncertainty in velocity and uncertainty in position of a micro particle of mass ' \(m\) ' is not less than in which of the following?

  1. A \(h \times \frac{3 \pi}{m}\)
  2. B \(\frac{h}{3 \pi} \times m\)
  3. C \(\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times \frac{1}{m}\)
  4. D \(\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times \frac{1}{m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to uncertainty principle, \(\begin{aligned} & \Delta P \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad m . \Delta v \times \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} \\ & \Rightarrow \Delta v \times \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi \times m} \end{aligned}\)
