Physics Hard

Which principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle?

  • APauli Exclusion Principle
  • BSuperposition Principle
  • CCorrespondence Principle
  • DHeisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D β€” Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Explanation: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely the position of a particle is determined the less precisely its momentum can be known and vice versa.
