Abstract
The indetermination principle of Heisenberg is discussed and applied to cases where position and velocity of an electron are observed by allowing it to pass through shutters opened momentarily at known times. The principle requires that such a shutter shall change the speed of the electron in a manner that can only be predicted statistically, in the same way as the frequency of a light quantum passing through such a shutter must usually undergo alteration to correspond with the Fourier resolution of the finite train of waves that gets through while the shutter is open. This effect is small and hard to detect experimentally.
