Praxis II General Science

Category - Physics

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is used to govern the movement and location of:
  1. Atoms.
  2. Protons.
  3. Electrons.
  4. Neutrons.
  5. Emitted electromagnetic waves.
Explanation
Answer: C - The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was initially used to govern the movement and location of electrons in the electron cloud. It states that we can either know the position or the movement of an electron, but cannot know both with certainty. It has since been applied to other quantum states in wavelike systems (of which protons and neutrons are not).
