Can ny1 plz xplain me wots

1. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principal nd its significance

2. Hydrogen Atom and Schrodinger Eguation

I'll rate evry1 wid a hat!!!

heisenberg's uncertainty principle states u cant measure the position and velocity of a moving object simultaneously accurately.

(change in position)(change in momentum) >= h / 4pi

ganesha1991

since no one has seen atoms there are many assumptions
now if u want to find the velocity of a ball at a particular position u can visualise and apply some formula and get it.
if u cant even see an atom how to calculate the exact velocity of it at particular position
this is what heisenberg uncertainity principle states
it states that the actual velocity and position of the electron cannot be calculated simultaneously

heisenberg's uncertainity principle talks about the uncertainity in position and momentum of any particle...
i'm not stating it in exact form....
heisenberg found out that if they use a wave of long wavelength...
then position of particle cannot be determined accurately.. but momentum is determined accurately.......
if wave of short waveleght is used.. then position is determined accurately.. but not momentum.....
and uncertainity in momentum and position is always greater than or equal to h/4pi

hydrogen atom is the most basic stable atomic structure which has just one proton and and an electron...

shrodinger wave equation is the equation of wave proposed by sir shrodinger for electrons in shell........
but i dont understand the equation completely....

Schrodinger Eguation

Schrodinger Equation

The Schrodinger equation plays the role of Newton's laws and conservation of energy in classical mechanics - i.e., it predicts the future behavior of a dynamic system. It is a wave equation in terms of the wavefunction which predicts analytically and precisely the probability of events or outcome. The detailed outcome is not strictly determined, but given a large number of events, the Schrodinger equation will predict the distribution of results.

The kinetic and potential energies are transformed into the Hamiltonian which acts upon the wavefunction to generate the evolution of the wavefunction in time and space. The Schrodinger equation gives the quantized energies of the system and gives the form of the wavefunction so that other properties may be calculated.

SO NO NEED TO RATE

At the beginning of the twentieth century, experimental evidence suggested that atomic particles were also wave-like in nature. For example, electrons were found to give diffraction patterns when passed through a double slit in a similar way to light waves. Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that a wave equation could explain the behaviour of atomic particles.

Schrodinger was the first person to write down such a wave equation. Much discussion then centred on what the equation meant. The eigenvalues of the wave equation were shown to be equal to the energy levels of the quantum mechanical system, and the best test of the equation was when it was used to solve for the energy levels of the Hydrogen atom, and the energy levels were found to be in accord with Rydberg's Law.

It was initially much less obvious what the wavefunction of the equation was. After much debate, the wavefunction is now accepted to be a probability distribution. The Schrodinger equation is used to find the allowed energy levels of quantum mechanical systems (such as atoms, or transistors). The associated wavefunction gives the probability of finding the particle at a certain position.

hiesenbergs principle tells us that the velocity as well as the position of an electron cannot b determined simultaneously,at one point u see an e at a position before u determine its v at that point its position and v wud have changed.
to locate an e ,light was needed but light can change the v of the e.
del(x) *del(v)=h/4 * m*pi
e means electron
hope this helps

see heisenbergs principle states that it is impossible tp determine the position and momentum or velocity of a particle like electron simultaneously

explanation>>>

to determine the exact position of the electron you will have to use light of the wavelength of dimensions of electrons ....
...........like for measuring length of a thin wire you cannot use ur meter scale ..you need one of its dimensions,,,

so if you use waves of such short dimensions to determine its position..ofcourse it has a lot of energy due to short wavelength..
..this high energy by collision will be transferred to the electron increasing its momentum or collision ...
and so we will not be able to determine ite velocity

ACCORDING TO UNCERTAINITY PRINCIPLE,

x

p=h

both position and momentum of a particle cannot be known accuratey at the same time. if position is known momentum will not be accurate and vice versa.

when change in momentum is 0 then

x will be infinity to keep h constant that is its position will be around an infinite place or u can say it will not be known accurately.
