Hi, I have a very limited knowledge in physics. I want to know whether the quantum uncertainity is restricted to only the position of a particle or is it general for all the properties of a particle. For example, we know that the absolute position of a subatomic particle cannot be determined with certainity but can be assessed only probabilistically. Is the same concept true also for other properties like spin, energy, charge, mass etc? If not, for which properties does the quantum uncertainity hold true and for which properties it is not? For example, if we consider an electron, it does not have a definite position but it has a definite mass(9*10-31 kg), charge(1.6*10-19 coulombs) and energy. So, why quantum uncertainity holds true only for some properties like position and not for other properties like mass, charge, energy etc? And for which other properties, does quantum uncertainity hold?
Re: What are the properties for which Quantum uncertainity is applicable?
