The discussion revolves around the relationship between minimum energy and energy uncertainty, particularly in the context of a video explanation. Participants are seeking clarification on a specific statement made in the video regarding the inequality ΔE≥½hf and its implications for the ground state energy E0.
Participants express differing views on the relationship between minimum energy and energy uncertainty, with no consensus reached on the interpretation of the video content.
There are unresolved interpretations regarding the implications of the inequality ΔE≥½hf and its connection to the ground state energy, as well as the clarity of the video content itself.
It's not.asdf said:Could someone explain why the minimum energy is equal to the energy uncertainty?
It's just saying that, since the energy of any state whatever must be greater than or equal to ##hf / 2##, the energy of the lowest energy state, the ground state energy ##E_0##, is equal to ##hf / 2##.asdf said:I don't get the step at 14:50 where he says that ΔE≥½hf means that E0=½hf.
That's not what the above is saying.asdf said:Could someone explain why the minimum energy is equal to the energy uncertainty?
