Explain the significance of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Significance of Uncertainty Principle:
1. This principle rules out the existence of definite paths. or trajectories of electrons and other similar particles.
2. This principle is significant only for motion of microscopic objects, and is negligible for that of -macroscopic objects.
3. In dealing with milligram size or heavier objects, the associated uncertainties are hardly of any real consequence.
