what can we say about the result.. \[\sigma_x\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac \hbar {4am}}\sqrt{am\hbar}=\frac \hbar2\]

OpenStudy (dominusscholae):

It fits the the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

only just

OpenStudy (dominusscholae):

ONLY just yes. I guess that's the point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right, in general a Gaussian is the closest you can come to violating the uncertainty principle but as is shown, it still fits.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first part of the question can be solved by normalization the function i.e we know that \[\int\limits_{a}^{b}\Psi \times \Psi*=1\] Wherwe can just square the function and then integrate it from -infi to +infi and then equation it to 1
