Why is the uncertainty in position of an object which is determined by a wave equal to the wavelength of the object? I don't get it. Isn't the wave diffracted at the surface of the object? we can then calculated the distance from velocity and time accurately, can't we? is it because we must receive a whole wave cycle by our devices before we signal the return of the wave? that would make sense, but I am not sure if it's correct.
