UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
IS
UNTENABLE
By reanalysing the experiment of Heisenberg Gamma-Ray Microscope and
one of ideal experiment from which uncertainty principle is derived ,
it is found that actually uncertainty principle can not be obtained
from these two ideal experiments . And it is found that uncertainty
principle is untenable.
Key words :
uncertainty principle; experiment of Heisenberg Gamma-Ray Microscope;
ideal experiment
Ideal Experiment 1
Experiment of Heisenberg Gamma-Ray Microscope
A free electron sits directly beneath the center of the microscope's
lens (see the picture below or AIP page:
http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p08b.htm). The circular lens
forms a cone of angle 2A from the electron. The electron is then
illuminated from the left by gamma rays--high energy light which has
the shortest wavelength. These yield the highest resolution, for
according to a principle of wave optics, the microscope can resolve
(that is, "see" or distinguish) objects to a size of dx, which is
related to and to the wavelength L of the gamma ray, by the
expression:
dx = L/(2sinA) (1)
However, in quantum mechanics, where a light wave can act like a
particle, a gamma ray striking an electron gives it a kick. At the
moment the light is diffracted by the electron into the microscope
lens, the electron is thrust to the right. To be observed by the
microscope, the gamma ray must be scattered into any angle within the
cone of angle 2A. In quantum mechanics, the gamma ray carries
momentum, as if it were a particle. The total momentum p is related
to the wavelength by the formula
p = h / L, where h is Planck's constant. (2)
In the extreme case of diffraction of the gamma ray to the right edge
of the lens, the total momentum in the x direction would be the sum
of the electron's momentum P'x in the x direction and the gamma ray's
momentum in the x direction:
P'x + (h sinA) / L', where L' is the wavelength of the
deflected gamma ray.
In the other extreme, the observed gamma ray recoils backward, just
hitting the left edge of the lens. In this case, the total momentum
in the x direction is:
P''x - (h sinA) / L''.
The final x momentum in each case must equal the initial x momentum,
since momentum is never lost (it is conserved). Therefore, the final
x momenta are equal to each other:
P'x + (h sinA) / L' = P''x - (h sinA) / L'' (3)
If A is small, then the wavelengths are approximately the same,
L' ~ L" ~ L. So we have
P''x - P'x = dPx ~ 2h sinA / L (4)
Since dx = L/(2 sinA), we obtain a reciprocal relationship between
the minimum uncertainty in the measured position,dx, of the electron
along the x axis and the uncertainty in its momentum, dPx, in the x
direction:
dPx ~ h / dx or dPx dx ~ h. (5)
For more than minimum uncertainty, the "greater than" sign may added.
Except for the factor of 4pi and an equal sign, this is Heisenberg's
uncertainty relation for the simultaneous measurement of the position
and momentum of an object
.
Reanalysis
To be seen by the microscope, the gamma ray must be scattered into
any angle within the cone of angle 2A.
The microscope can resolve (that is, "see" or distinguish) objects to
a size of dx, which is related to and to the wavelength L of the
gamma ray, by the expression:
dx = L/(2sinA) (1)
It is the resolving limit of the microscope, and it is the uncertain
quantity of the object's position.
Microscope can not see the object which the size is smaller than its
resolving limit dx.
Therefore, to be seen by the microscope, the size of the electron
must be larger than the resolving limit dx or equal to the resolving
limit dx.
But if the size of the electron is larger than or equal to the
resolving limit dx, electron will not be in the range dx. dx can not
be deemed to be the uncertain quantity of the electron's position
which can be seen by microscope, dx can be deemed to be the uncertain
quantity of the electron's position which can not be seen by
microscope only.
dx is the position's uncertain quantity of the electron which can not
be seen by microscope
To be seen by the microscope, the gamma ray must be scattered into
any angle within the cone of angle 2A, so we can measure the
momentum of the electron.
dPx is the momentum's uncertain quantity of the electron which can be
seen by microscope.
What relates to dx is the electron which the size is smaller than the
resolving limit .The electron is in the range dx, it can not be seen
by the microscope, so its position is uncertain.
What relates to dPx is the electron which the size is larger than or
equal to the resolving limit .The electron is not in the range dx, it
can be seen by the microscope, so its position is certain.
Therefore, the electron which relate to dx and dPx respectively is
not the same.
What we can see is the electron which the size is larger than or
equal to the resolving limit dx and has certain position, dx = 0..
Quantum mechanics does not relate to the size of the object. but on
the Experiment Of Heisenberg Gamma-Ray Microscope, the using of the
microscope must relate to the size of the object, the size of the
object which can be seen by the microscope must be larger than or
equal to the resolving limit dx of the microscope, thus it does not
exist alleged the uncertain quantity of the electron's position dx.
To be seen by the microscope, none but the size of the electron is
larger than or equal to the resolving limit dx, the gamma ray which
diffracted by the electron can be scattered into any angle within the
cone of angle 2A, we can measure the momentum of the electron.
What we can see is the electron which has certain position, dx = 0,
so that none but dx = 0£¨we can measure the momentum of the electron.
In Quantum mechanics, the momentum of the electron can be measured
accurately when we measure the momentum of the electron only,
therefore, we can gained dPx = 0.
Therefore ,
dPx dx =0. (6)
Ideal experiment 2
Experiment of single slit diffraction
Supposing a particle moves in Y direction originally and then passes
a slit with width dx . So the uncertain quantity of the particle
position in X direction is dx (see the picture below) , and
interference occurs at the back slit . According to Wave Optics , the
angle where No.1 min of interference pattern is , can be calculated
by following formula :
sinA=L/2dx (1)
and
L=h/p where h is Planck°Øs constant. (2)
So uncertainty principle can be obtained
dPx dx ~ h (5)
Reanalysis
According to Newton first law , if the external force at the X
direction does not affect particle ,the particle will keep the
uniform straight line Motion State or Static State , and the motion
at the Y direction unchangeable .Therefore , we can lead its position
in the slit form its starting point .
The particle can have the certain position in the slit, and the
uncertain quantity of the position dx =0 .
According to Newton first law , if the external force at the X
direction does not affect particle,and the original motion at the Y
direction is unchangeable , the momentum of the particle at the X
direction will be Px=0 , and the uncertain quantity of the momentum
will be dPx =0.
Get:
dPx dx =0. (6)
It has not any experiment to negate NEWTON FIRST LAW, in spite of
quantum mechanics or classical mechanics, NEWTON FIRST LAW can be the
same with the microcosmic world.
Under the above ideal experiment , it considered that slit°Øs width
is the uncertain quantity of the particle°Øs position. But there is
no reason for us to consider that the particle in the above
experiment have position°Øs uncertain quantity certainly, and no
reason for us to consider that the slit°Øs width is the uncertain
quantity of the particle°Øs position.
Therefore, uncertainty principle
dPx dx ~ h (5)
which is derived from the above experiment is unreasonable .
Concluson
>From the above reanalysis , it is realized that the ideal experiment
>demonstration for uncertainty principle is untenable .
uncertainty principle is untenable. .
