The correct answer is:
Heisenberg's principle : The exact position and momentum of a fast moving particle cannot be calculated exactly at the same moment of time.
As per Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,
Uncertainty in momentum
Uncertainty in velocity
Given, the product of uncertainty in the position and uncertainty in velocity of a particle =
So, the uncertainty in the measurement of its velocity =
