Well, in fact it has not really anything to do with Heisenberg. It may
be a similar phenomenon as described in Heisenbergs uncertainty
principle, but Heiseberg describes the uncertainty of measurements on
a quantum physical scale and says, that these are quantized with
Planck's h.
What you describe is the analogon to Heisenberg in classical wave
mechanics but this is much older than Heisenberg.
But I'm getting off-topic now...
