Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that the product of the error in the measurement of a particle's momentum and the error in the measurement of a particle's position must be at least Planck's constant divided by . Suppose the error in the measurement of the momentum of a particle is halved. By how many percent does the minimum error in the measurement of its position increase?
a particle's position must be at least Planck's constant divided by ???? . Suppose the error in the measurement of the
Em * Ep = k/4pi
1/2 Em * 2Ep = k/4pi
so halving the momentum error DOUBLES the position error .... a 100% increase
