What is the Significance of Uncertainty Principle??
Answers
Explanation:
It says that the more precisely you measure the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know it's motion (momentum or velocity). Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle is basically the base of quantum mechanics. Before moving on to quantum mechanics we shall first see the flaws of classical physics.
Classical physics stated that if we know the position of an object we can determine it's momentum& vice versa. Now talking in terms of classical physics if we know a position of an object we can find it's everything , thanks to Sir Isaac Newton.But but but the smaller an object gets, the more quantum mechanical it getsi.e it's less able to be described by Newtonian mechanics.
Werner Heisenberg was not at all satisfied with classics physics. He tried to find the position of a particle with given velocity many times. Evertime he practiced this experiment the result was something else. Finally he came up with something spectacular. He gave the world Uncertainty principle. He stated that the more precisely we measure the position of a particle the less precisely we can know it's momentum& vice versa.
