Homework Statement
Is it true that if a particle has lower energy than another particle, then it also has smaller uncertainties in momentum and position?
Homework Equations
Uncertainty principle
The Attempt at a Solution
If you consider the Bohr model, lower energy states mean smaller radii, which would mean the electron in confined to a smaller space, or width, so that the uncertainty in position would be smaller. Is this correct reasoning? I don't know what to do with the uncertainty in momentum, at all. Any help will be appreciated.
