Examples

Adding together all of these plane waves comes at a cost, namely the momentum has become less precise, having become a mixture of waves of many different momenta. Source: Internet

All protons in a complete proton shell have total angular momentum zero, since their angular momenta cancel each other; The same is true for neutrons. Source: Internet

Albert Einstein in 1905, attributed "particle-like" and discrete exchanges of momenta and energy, characteristic of "field quanta", to the electromagnetic field. Source: Internet

By measuring the scattered photons' energy and reversing the magnetisation of the sample, two different Compton profiles are generated (one for spin up momenta and one for spin down momenta). Source: Internet
