Explain Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

You cannot known both the speed and location of an electron in an atom. You can only know one value at a time

300

300

Which Disney movie is a lesson on pollution and the dangers of not caring for the planet?

Wall - E

Will also accept The Lorax

Give one statement about what the Photoelectric effect tells us

All acceptable

There is a threshold frequency of light where no current flows under it

The threshold frequency is independent of brightness

If the threshold frequency is reached, light will be emitted with no lag
