Question
the wavelike properties of electrons are useful in _____.
determining the velocity and position of a particle
defining photons
writing electron configurations
magnifying objects
Electron microscopes utilize the wavelike properties of electrons to magnify objects. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle makes it impossible to precisely determine both the velocity and position of a particle, so that option is incorrect. Photons are defined by their own properties (not electron wave - like properties). Writing electron configurations is based on electron energy levels and quantum numbers, not the wavelike property for magnification.
