Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: Example #1

The video tutorial explains Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, focusing on calculating the error in momentum for an electron confined in a specific area. It describes how particles are not confined to a single spot but exist over a range of positions, leading to uncertainty. The tutorial demonstrates using Heisenberg's formula to calculate momentum uncertainty and extends this to find the uncertainty in velocity by dividing by the electron's mass.

What is the formula for Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and how is it applied?

Calculate the uncertainty in the momentum of an electron given the length of confinement.
