... Certain about uncertainty Not so fast! Yes, particles behave like waves, but observing them causes the wave to collapse into particle form. You lose information just by “looking”! ...

... independent of x. Consequently, the particle is equally likely to be found at any value of x. This is consistent with the uncertainty principle—if the wavelength is known precisely (based on a specific value of k in Equation 41.3), we have no knowledge of the position of the particle. ...
