Can anybody explain about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Particle.And Some Description in
the experiment t o Prove the principle.

In summary, the conversation is about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and the suggestion to look up information on it in reliable sources such as Wikipedia or hyperphysics.com before asking general questions. A corrected link to the hyperphysics website is also provided.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
firoz.raj, you keep asking these general questions.
Instead, look them up first in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" , or in hyperphysics.com, and if you don't understand something there, then quote it and ask us about it.
(oh, and it's "Uncertainty Principle")

The home page for hyperphysics appears to be: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html and is hosted by Georgia State U (per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperPhysics).
I mention this only because when I entered hyperphysics.com in my browser, it sent me to some generic website for sale and then the Google results were ambiguous. At first, I wasn't sure the GSU site was the one tiny-tim meant. So, I offer this small contribution for what it's worth to anyone else.
Greg.

When I want to find something on Hyperphysics, I simply do a Google search that includes the word "hyperphysics:"
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=uncertainty+principle+hyperphysics
The Hyperphysics page is usually at the top of the list.

1. What is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle?
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle. This means that the more precisely we know the position of a particle, the less we know about its momentum, and vice versa.
2. Why is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle important?
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is important because it sets a limit on our ability to measure and predict the behavior of particles at the microscopic level. It also highlights the inherently unpredictable nature of quantum mechanics and challenges our classical understanding of physics.
3. How did Heisenberg develop this principle?
Werner Heisenberg developed the Uncertainty Principle in 1927 while working on the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. He realized that the more accurate our measurements of a particle's position, the more we disrupt its momentum, and vice versa. This led him to the conclusion that there is an intrinsic limit to our knowledge of a particle's properties.
4. Can the Uncertainty Principle be observed in everyday life?
No, the effects of the Uncertainty Principle are only noticeable at the subatomic level. In our daily lives, the uncertainty is so small that it is negligible and does not affect our observations or measurements.
5. How does the Uncertainty Principle affect our understanding of the universe?
The Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental concept that challenges our classical understanding of the universe. It shows that at the quantum level, the behavior of particles is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. This has major implications for our understanding of the laws of nature and the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
