Which of the following best describes the Heisenberg uncertainity principle?

Question

a
Light behaves like a particle and like a wave
b
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency
c
It is impossible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time
d
You can measure an object without disturbing it

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is:

c It is impossible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time.

This principle highlights the inherent limitations in measuring certain pairs of complementary variables in quantum mechanics, such as position and momentum.
