deBroglie Wavelength and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

A bit of bellwork to introduce the topic:



Some notes:


Keep in mind that the last bit about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is highly conceptual and does not give you the whole picture. But we don't really need the whole picture, and I think this is confusing enough. I just wanted you to have this small amount of exposure so I could tell you my favorite physics joke:

Heisenberg was driving on the New Jersey turnpike and got pulled over by the police. The cop said, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know where I am."

:D

Anyway, homework.
