... Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the position and momentum of a particle can never been known exactly or simultaneously - there is a minimum amount of error (uncertainty) in any measurement of those two properties of a particle. 14. What equation describes Heisenberg's uncertainty prin ...

... Consider an ideal parallel plate diode in a vacuum tube. A constant potential difference, V0 > 0, is maintained between the cathode and the anode which are separated by a distance d. Electrons are assumed to be released from the cathode at zero potential with negligible velocity, but are accelerated ...
