  4. It is not applicable to photons

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is true?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a concept in physics.
  • Step 2: Know that it deals with pairs of properties, like position (where something is) and momentum (how fast and in what direction it is moving).
  • Step 3: Realize that the principle states you cannot know both properties with perfect accuracy at the same time.
  • Step 4: Accept that if you know the position very precisely, the momentum becomes less certain, and vice versa.
