Whats the relationship between the wave function and the uncertinaty principle? if there's any
thanks

The position and mmentum each have a wave function, and it so turns out that these wave functions are the Fourier transforms of each other. And the uncertainty priniple then follows from a well known theorem in Fourier transforms.
