alleryStart learning →Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is described as connecting wave-particle duality to the non-absolute properties of:
ASpace and time
BMass and charge
CHeat and light
DForce and torque
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Space and time
1. The principle links two big quantum ideas together.
2. Probabilistic limits on measurement are described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
3. That principle connects wave-particle duality to something further.
4. It connects it to the non-absolute properties of space and time.
5. So duality and relativity of measurement are tied together.
