Question

Select True or False for the following statements about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

A) It is not possible to measure simultaneously the x and z positions of a particle exactly.
B) It is possible to measure simultaneously the x and y momentum components of a particle exactly.
C) It is possible to measure simultaneously the y position and the y momentum component of a particle exactly.

Answer 1

A and B are true C is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it states that if we know everything about where a particle is located (the uncertainty of position is small), we know nothing about its momentum (the uncertainty of momentum is large), and vice versa.

So in A we can know the positions of two objects

In B we can measure the momentum at two different places

While in C we cannot measure both the position and momentum of y accurately
