We know that any electron which passed through the slit must have had a y-position which was between the bottom and top of the slit: a distance d. Thus, the uncertainty in the y-position of such electrons is delta_y = d Using Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, we can say h (delta_y) * (delta_py) ~ ---- 2 pi h d * (delta_py) ~ ---- 2 pi h (delta_py) ~ ------ 2 pi d
