    Abstract

    If the uncertainties Δθ and ΔL of angle and angular momentum are defined according to JUDE's prescription, then there exists an uncertainty relation of the form: Δθ . ΔL ≥ h/2 f (Δθ)
    The function f is calculated numerically and the result is compared with HEISENBERG's form of the uncertainty relation. An analytic approximation is also forwarded.
