Question

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that _____.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that _____.

	the more accurately we know the position of a particle, the less accurately we can know the velocity of that particle
	the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is related to its velocity
	an electron is actually something intermediate between a particle and a wave
	complementary properties are those properties that can be measured simultaneously

Answer 1

Heisenberg's uncertainity principle states that the more accurately we know the position of a particle, the less accurately we can know the velocity of that particle.

Definition:

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known simultaneously.
