The uncertainties of a position and a momentum of a particle (Ax) and (Ap) are
defined as
Ax = /(x²) – (x)²
Ap = /(p*) – {p}²
1. For the particle in the box at the ground eigenstate (n = 1) and first excited state (
2), what is the uncertainty in the value x? How would you interpret the
results of these calculations?
n =
2. For the particle in the box at the ground eigenstate (n = 1) and first excited state (
n = 2), what is the uncertainty in the value p? How would you interpret the
results of these calculations?
3. What is the product for the ground and first excited state: AxAp.
4. Does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle hold for a particle in each of these
states?
