For a particle of mass $m$ confined in a box of length $L$, assume $\Delta x=L$. Assume further that $\Delta p(\text{min})=\langle p^{2}\rangle^{1/2}$. Use the uncertainity principle to obtain an estimate of the energy of the particle. The value will be

(a)$\frac{h^{2}}{8 m L^{2}}$

(b)$\frac{\hbar^{2}}{8 m L^{2}}$

(c)$\frac{h^{2}}{32 m L^{2}}$

(d)$\frac{h^{2}}{2 m L^{2}}$
