German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object\'s position (Δx) to the uncertainty in its velocity Δv.?
Δx > or = h / (4 π m Δ v)
where h is Planck\'s constant and m is the mass of the object.
The mass of an electron is 9.11× 10–31 kg.
What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 2.00 × 106 m/s with an uncertainty of Δv = 0.01 × 106 m/s?

He said the product of the uncertainty of position and momentum must be greater than or equal to planks constant over 4pi.
