Questions and Answers

What is the consequence of more precisely defining the position of an electron?

  • No impact on defining its velocity
  • Higher certainty in defining its position
  • More accuracy in defining its momentum
  • Less certainty in defining its velocity (correct)

In real-world measurements, what can cause additional uncertainties besides the inherent characteristics of the system?

  • Non-ideal and imperfect measurement processes (correct)
  • Ideal measurement processes
  • Negligible effects on macroscopic objects
  • Doubly precise measurements

According to the uncertainty principle, what is the relationship between the uncertainty in defining position (Δx) and the uncertainty in momentum (Δp)?

  • Δx + Δp = h/4Ï€
  • Δx - Δp = h/4Ï€
  • Δx * Δp > h/4Ï€ (correct)
  • Δx * Δp < h/4Ï€
