Statement justification with example
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle:
ΔxΔp≥h4π
And, Δp=mΔv.
Thus, Δx,mΔv≥h4π
Macroscopic particles are visible to naked eyes while microscopic particles includes atoms and molecules that are not visible to naked eyes
For Example, If the uncertainty principle is applied to a macroscopic object of mass one milligram (10−6kg), then
ΔvΔx=h4π×m
ΔvΔx=6.626×10−34kgm2s−4×3.14×10−6kg
ΔvΔx=0.52×10−28m2s−1
While, this same value for product of uncertainties (velocity and momentum ) for a microscopic particle ( i.e. electron with mass of (9.11×10−31Kg) is
ΔvΔx=6.626×10−34kgm2s−4×3.14×9.11×10−31kg
ΔvΔx=0.57×10−4m2s−1
The value of ΔvΔx (product of uncertainity) obtained for macroscopic particle is extremely small in comparison to microscopic particle. and thus it is insignificant for the uncertainty principle to apply to macroscopic particle
Conclusion:
The effect of uncertainty principle is significant only for motion of microscopic particles and is negligible for the macroscopic particles.
