38 The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle says that we cannot know both the position and the
momentum of a particle to infinite certainty at the same time. One reason for this is because:
A. Particles are also waves and so dont have a defined momentum.
B. The equipment is not sensitive enough to measure both at the same time.
C. The particles are traveling too fast to measure both position and momentum.
D. The photons do not have a well-defined position and so cannot be used to find particles.
E. Observing an objects position with photons changes the momentum because the photons
have momentum.
