Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, stating that there is a limit to the precision with which physical properties, such as position and momentum any fundamental particle, can’t be simultaneously known.
In other words, the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known.
The principle can be mathematically expressed as follows:
Δp.Δx ≥ h/4π
where,
- Δx is Uncertainty in Position
- Δp is Uncertainty in Momentum
- h is Reduced Planck’s Constant
Dual Nature of Matter
Dual Nature of Matter states that a matter exhibits both Particle Nature and Wave Nature. It means that when a matter is at rest it behaves like a particle and when it is moving it behaves like wave. Different Experiments have been performed to prove this by the science community.
In this article, we will look into this theory and understand the dual nature of matter. We will also learn the experiments that proved the dual nature of matter.
