Show that for a free particle the uncertainty relation can be written as (Delta lambda) (Delta x) >= lambda^2 / 4pi
Firstly I am sorry not writing this in latex but I gave up after trying to write it in latex for half an hour. Would be great if anyone can show me how to do it.
Using [(Delta p)(Delta x)>=h/4pi ] and h/p=lambda, I got (Delta x)>=(Delta lambda)/4pi. Multiplying throughout by (Delta lambda) I got (Delta lambda) (Delta x) >= (Delta lambda)^2 / 4pi. So how do I proceed from here?
Thanks
