Probabilistic limits on measurement are described by whose uncertainty principle?

AEdwin Hubble
BChristiaan Huygens
CHeinrich Hertz
DWerner Heisenberg
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Werner Heisenberg
1. Quantum measurement has a named limit. 2. Some pairs of quantities cannot both be known precisely. 3. These probabilistic limits on measurement are described by a principle. 4. That is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. 5. It connects wave-particle duality to the non-absolute properties of space and time. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 29 'Quantum Physics', sections 29.1-29.8_
