If I want to measure the position of a particle, and to do so I bombard it with a photon. What attributes of the particle will this interaction affect?
I would think that it could affect both the particle's direction and its mass, which in turn would have an effect on both its position and its momentum. But what I'm not certain of is whether it would affect the particle's speed. I wouldn't think so, but I'm not sure
As far as HUP is concerned, what are the important attributes that the interaction would affect. Direction? Mass? Speed? Anything else?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
