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. $h \times \frac{3 \pi}{m}$
  2. $\frac{h}{3 \pi} \times m$
  3. $\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times \frac{1}{m}$
  4. $\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times m$

Solution

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