Question 1 Report
(a) State Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
(b) State one phenomenon that can only be explained in terms of the wave nature of light.
(a) Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
It is impossible to determine simultaneously, with perfect accuracy, both the position and momentum of a particle. Mathematically,
\[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \]
(b) Interference of light is a phenomenon that can only be explained in terms of the wave nature of light. Diffraction is also acceptable.
