Question: The uncertainty in the momentum of a ball travelling at 20 m/s is 1 x 10-6 of its momentum. ΣΓéÜ is the standard deviation in the momentum measurement

ΣΓéô is the standard deviation in the position measurement The formula of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is defined as It is an important concept in quantum mechanics. The momentum and position is greater than h/4π. It tells that the momentum and position of any particle cannot be measured with arbitrarily high accuracy. So, it was named Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

This principle was given by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in the year 1927.
