Re: Heisenberg Equation Confusion
Hi, I believe Professor Lavelle mentioned that the 4pi results from a long derivation process for the Heisenberg Indeterminacy Equation but that we won't need to know it. As long as you know the equation you should be fine, and it may even be given on the test.

Re: Heisenberg Equation Confusion
We don't need to know the derivation process - it's difficult and you would learn it in a graduate school course.

Re: Heisenberg Equation Confusion
How do we go about solving Heisenberg problems? I understand that this equation represents the uncertainty of position in relation to uncertainty of momentum of a particle, but how does the equation help us solve anything?

Re: Heisenberg Equation Confusion
Given that you know either the change in momentum or position, you should be able to find the minimum value of the other using Heisenberg's.
