Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - Great uncertainty

 


Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle 



Origin 

the Heisenberg`s uncertainty principle was founded by Werner Heisenberg in 1927.


Function 

the Heisenberg`s Uncertainty principle states that we cannot simultaneously know the speed and position of a particle. This means that if we know the position of a particle , we cannot  know the momentum of the particle at the same time or vice versa. This is because it was discovered that everything around us acts a particle and a wave a the same time. 

ok hear me out, when we think of a given particle, we know that it is in a single place at any instinct of time. it can also be shown in a graph where the particle is represented as a dot. it tells us that the probability of the particle being present at the given place is 100% and the probability of it being elsewhere is 0%. 

now, whereas the waves are spread out and you cant tell that the wave is present at a single place at a time. it can be anywhere at any time. waves can be found at different places at the same time and thus, we can have a probability of a wave being present at a place at a time using a wavelength. 

A wave length is the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs of a wave. 

a wave length cannot be spotted around us as it is very small to notice. 

for example, a ball having a weight of 0.1 kg is moving at a speed of 10 m/s has a wavelength of 6.626 x 10^-34 meter.

    I believe you made a mistake when you said "if we know the position of a particle , we cannot know the location of the particle". Since location implies position, these are the same thing and it will confuse people. I think what you meant was that you cannot know the position of a particle and it's momentum at the same time. At least that's my understanding of Heisenberg.
    It would also be helpful to show the equation and define the terms in it.
    Otherwise, nice work. Keep it up.

Schrödinger `s c a t who is Erwin shrodinger? Erwin Shrodinger was an Austrian-Irish physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in quantum physics. Erwin Shrodinger was born on 12 august 1887 and died on 4  January 1961. Shrodinger`s cat Erwin Shrodinger`s famous thought experiment explains the Hisenberg`s uncertainty principal. A cat, a sealed vail of poison and a lump of radioactive substance are kept inside a box.The vail will open when one atom of the radiactive substance will decay. Since no one knows when the decay will occur, there is no way of knowing if the cat is dead or alive. while the box is closed, the cat is in a superposition state, being dead and alive at the same time. read more blogs, become a science nerd! hisenberg`s uncertainty principal :  https://quantumphysicsbygurangad.blogspot.com/2021/10/heisenbergs-uncertainty-principle-great.html Black Holes:  https://gurangadteaches.blogspot.com/2021/08/all-you-need-to-know-about-black-holes.html Neutron sta
