According to wave-particle duality, particles can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties. Which experiment provides evidence for this phenomenon?

The uncertainty principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg, states that there is a fundamental limit to the simultaneous precision with which certain pairs of physical properties can be known. Which properties does the uncertainty principle apply to?

The uncertainty principle states that as the uncertainty in the measurement of one property decreases, the uncertainty in the measurement of the other property:

The wave-particle duality is most pronounced for particles with:

Which of the following phenomena demonstrates the wave-like behaviour of particles?

The uncertainty principle implies that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact:

The wave-particle duality suggests that particles can exist in:

The mathematical description of wave-particle duality is provided by:

Explain the concept of wave-particle duality and provide examples of experiments that support this idea.

Describe the uncertainty principle and its implications on the simultaneous measurement of certain physical properties.
