What does the Stern-Gerlach experiment demonstrate?
Click to flip
The Stern-Gerlach experiment demonstrates the quantization of angular momentum and revealed the concept of electron spin.
Click to flip
What is the importance of the double-slit experiment?
Click to flip
The double-slit experiment is important because it illustrates the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, demonstrating that particles can display characteristics of both waves and particles.

What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment discover?
Click to flip
Rutherford's gold foil experiment discovered the atomic nucleus by showing that some alpha particles were scattered backward when directed at thin gold foil.
Click to flip
What did the Davisson-Germer experiment confirm?
Click to flip
The Davisson-Germer experiment confirmed the wave nature of electrons, supporting the theory of wave-particle duality.
Click to flip
What is the quantum Hall effect?
Click to flip
The quantum Hall effect is observed in two-dimensional electron systems subjected to low temperatures and strong magnetic fields, demonstrating quantized Hall voltage.
Click to flip
What did Young's double-slit experiment with electrons show?
Click to flip
Young's double-slit experiment with electrons showed that electrons can act like waves, displaying interference patterns even when sent one at a time.
Click to flip
What result did the Michelson-Morley experiment have on physics?
Click to flip
The Michelson-Morley experiment showed that the speed of light is constant in all directions, disproving the existence of luminiferous ether and paving the way for the theory of relativity.
Click to flip
How does particle-wave duality relate to the Compton effect?
Click to flip
The Compton effect demonstrates particle-wave duality by showing that X-rays lose energy and change direction when scattered by electrons, behaving like particles.
Click to flip
What is significant about Feynman’s path integral formulation?
Click to flip
Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics provides an alternative formulation using the sum over all possible paths that a particle can take.
Click to flip
What did J.J. Thomson discover using cathode rays?
Click to flip
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron using cathode ray experiments, demonstrating the existence of smaller particles than atoms.
Click to flip
What is the Bell test experiment used to demonstrate?
Click to flip
The Bell test experiments are used to demonstrate quantum entanglement and to test Bell's inequalities, disproving local hidden variable theories.
Click to flip
What was the outcome of Rutherford's scattering experiment?
Click to flip
Rutherford's scattering experiment demonstrated that atoms have a small, positively charged nucleus, leading to the nuclear model of the atom.
Click to flip
How did the quantum mechanical model improve upon the Bohr model?
Click to flip
The quantum mechanical model improved upon the Bohr model by providing a more accurate description of the probable locations of electrons around the nucleus in orbitals, rather than fixed paths.
