Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
I've been studying Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and noticed that different sources showed different information in terms of what the equation is. Some say that delta x * delta P is greater than or equal to h over 2, while others say that it is greater or equal to h over 4 * pi. So which is the denominator: 4 * pi or 2?
