Heisenberg

What does the Heisenberg equation state, a summary of what was found?

[Caitlin_Tang_Dis3H]

Heisenberg's equation is
(delta p)(delta x) > h/(4pi)

Heisenberg's equation states that there is a limit on the accuracy to which the momentum and position of a particle can be known simultaneously. With the incorrect atomic model, we find the change in momentum from the uncertainty and find that the uncertainty in velocity is larger than the speed of light (which is unrealistic).

Heisenberg's equation is:
(indeterminacy in momentum)(indeterminacy in position) ≥ h/4π
(Δp)(Δx)≥ h/4π
This equation was used to determine that electrons cannot be found inside the nucleus, because we found that the Δv of an electron in a hydrogen molecule is greater or faster the speed of light, which is not possible. In this equation, it is important to note that there is an inverse reaction between momentum and position, so if we try to localize the position of an electron, there will be an increase in Δp uncertainty.

Hi! The Heisenberg uncertainty equation is (Δp)(Δx)≥ h/4π which is uncertainty in position times uncertainty of momentum = planks constant over 4π. The equation states that the position and velocity of a particle cannot be determined simultaneously and accurate at the same time.

Hi! The Heisenberg equation is (Δp)(Δx)≥ h/4π

this was founded on the basis that it is difficult to find the exact distance the electron traveled since it is possible that it was knocked off its original course by a photon. This caused it to stray and take a different course that we can not measure. Thereby, scientists are uncertain about the exact number since if indeterminacy in momentum increase, the indeterminacy in position decreases and vice versa.
