delta y delta px  =  0 ........... can this be true depending on the mass of the particle ( i.e for a massless particle ) ?

Is there such a thing as a massless particle? neway this is teh uncertainty and there's probly still uncertainty but not sure

UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot simultaneously be known to arbitrary precision.

(delta x) . (delta p) > h / 4 pi

or, (delta x) . (m) (delta v) > h / 4 pi

or, (delta x) . (delta v) > h / 4 m pi

So, for a massless particle, say photon, m = 0

So, (delta x) . (delta v) > infinity

 

@sahell, photon is massless.

@canorous i hope you have got the point.

Nudge me if you still have any doubt regarding this.


The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real.
