Question

When we force protons through a narrow slit, we are gaining certainty in their position. As we gain certainty in their position, what should happen to the certainty on momentum?

Answer 1

Google Heisenberg uncertainty principle

certainty of product of position and momentum is limited so the more accurately you know position the less accurately you know momentum
