The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to know simultaneously the exact position and momentum of a particle. That is, the more exactly the position is determined, the less known the momentum, and vice versa. This principle is not a statement about the limits of technology, but a fundamental limit on what can be known about a particle at any given moment. This uncertainty arises because the act of measuring affects the object being measured. The only way to measure the position of something is using light, but, on the sub-atomic scale, the interaction of the light with the object inevitably changes the object's position and its direction of travel. ---------- Physics tutoring on Chegg Tutors Learn about Physics terms like Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle on Chegg Tutors.

From assisting my classmates with homework to helping them understand lecture topics, I found tutoring to be not only a way to fulfill my need to reach out to others but also strengthen my own understanding of the topics I taught. In my last two years of high school, I formalized this hobby into a self-employed job during the summer by teaching underclassmen from my high school five days a week, seven hours a day. I taught numerous subjects ranging from SAT preparation to several AP subjects and my class size varied between one person to four or five. I utilized my summer tutoring job to make sure my knowledge didn't atrophy over the long summer breaks and to improve my communication skills involved in teaching others. Feedback from my students was generally positive and many returned in the following years. Overall, I love tutoring as a both a recreational and a financial interest. EXTRACURRICULAR INTERESTS I was born and raised in the Clear Lake area of Houston and my family hails from Taiwan. I graduated from Clear Lake High School as salutatorian in 2013 and currently attend the University of Texas at Austin as a pre-medical and Health Science Honors student. Outside of academics, I love gaming, specifically League of Legends and Hearthstone. Concerning tutoring, the main point I want students to know about me is that I focus on making sure they understand the concepts and theory behind a problem rather than just finding the answer.
