Modern Physics - Uncertainty Principle : Experimental Validity - Diffraction Experiment

In the formative periods of quantum mechanics,uncertainty principle was very difficult for physicists to accept. It is said that Einstein was never comfortable with this principle. People thought of various experiments which would in principle be doable but which could defy uncertainty principle. We will discuss two such thought experiments,namely Diffraction of electrons from a single slit and Heisenberg’s gamma ray microscope experiment. In each of these experiments,a beam of electrons is produced with well defined momentum and an attempt is made to locate an electron in this beam to an arbitrary precision. In this video I have described only the diffraction experiment.
