Which two particle properties did Heisenberg show cannot be precisely known simultaneously?

True, but only for protons and antiprotons.

True, as long as it's a Tuesday or Thursday.

False. Particles are a theoretical construct and cannot be measured.

False. We can only determine a particle's most probable position.

The Schrödinger equation can be used to determine a particle's exact position at any one instant in time.

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell

Light is emitted in quanta (discrete/distinct packets) called photons

Max Planck first discovered that...

Hydrogen is made up of dozens of particles

Hydrogen is intrinsically quantum-infused

Hydrogen is a simple system with a single electron and a single proton

Hydrogen is one of the heaviest atoms known

DNA has a helical molecular structure

They can travel faster than the speed of light

Measurements on one can be inferred from the other, regardless of distance

The particles are superfluid in complex condensates

Which statement accurately describes the connection between two entangled particles?

Objects moving closer to the speed of light experience physics differently

Strong gravitational fields change space and time around them

Light itself consists of localized particles (quanta)

Entanglement applies to particles separated even by large distances

Which of these ideas did Einstein resist, critiquing it as "spooky action at a distance"?

the Diogenes model of gallian emission ("Behold, a laser!")

classical physics' assertion that radiated cavity energy could be infinite

Planck's modified spectral distribution functions

Newton's definition of light as strictly particle-based ("corpuscular")

What leading theory did Young's "twin-slit experiment" overturn?

The de Broglie energy would shatter the 4th wall.

He couldn't see; visible light's wavelength would be larger than his body.

Marvel's Antman fully fits the Standard Model.

Paul Rudd shrinks to subatomic size in the 2015 movie Antman. What physics are problematic in that scenario?

Flipping one switch flips all the others, regardless of their state.

Only one switch can be 'on' at any instant in time.

Every switch can achieve pure superposition, independent of the others.

Each switch is electrically and magnetically charged.

If this panel of light switches were all entangled with each other, which statement about them would be true?

wave-like behavior, because metallic bonds are covalent

particle-like behavior; electrons are ejected by absorbed photon energy

the Snell frequency, because photons diffract through matter

Which characteristic of light most directly contributes to photoelectric emission of electrons (from a metal)?
