Question

Zero point energy is a direct consequence of
• Pauli's exclusion principle
• Heisenberg uncertainty principle
• Conservation of energy
• The Schr\"odinger equation's linearity

• A. Pauli's exclusion principle
• B. Heisenberg uncertainty principle
• C. Conservation of energy
• D. The Schr\"odinger equation's linearity

Hint:

A quantum particle can never have: \[ x=0 \text{ and } p=0 \] simultaneously. Therefore quantum systems always possess minimum energy called zero point energy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
