Select True or False for the following statements about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle True
It is not possible to measure simultaneously the x and z positions of a particle 'exactly. FalseIt is
not possible to measure simultaneously the x and y momentum components of a particle exactly.
FalseIt is possible to measure simultaneously the x position and the x momentum component of a
particle exactly. Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 1/3 Previous Tries
Solution
part 1
x and z positions are independent. Thus, simultaneous measurement is possible - False
part 2
both position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously measured simulataneously
accurately but momentum can be measured accurately so x and y momentum components of a
particle can be measured exactly. False
part 3
it is just opposite of the definition of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. False
