Why is it not possible to overcome the uncertainty off Heisenberg's principle using devices having high precision?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has no relation with precisions of measuring devices. We know that the subatomic particles are very tiny and thus cannot be seen even under a powerful microscope. To measure the velocity or to locate the position of the subatomic particles, they are illuminated (struck, hyprotons) with a suitable electromagnetic radiation. hence, precision of measuring devices is not possible in overcoming Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
