Which of the following does not represent the mathematical expression for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

  1. A \(\Delta x \cdot \Delta P \geq h /(4 \pi)\)
  2. B \(\Delta x \cdot \Delta v \geq h /(4 \pi m)\)
  3. C \(\Delta E \cdot \Delta t \geq h /(4 \pi)\)
  4. D \(\Delta E \cdot \Delta x \geq h /(4 \pi)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\Delta E \cdot \Delta x \geq h /(4 \pi)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Heisenberg uncertainty principle, \(\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}\) or \(\quad \Delta x \cdot m \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}\) or \(\quad \Delta x \cdot \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi m}\) This principle is also applicable for pairs like energy-time…
