What is quantum physics?
Click to flip
Quantum physics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic scales.
Click to flip
Who is considered the father of quantum physics?
Click to flip
Max Planck is often considered the father of quantum physics due to his work on black body radiation and the introduction of the quantum concept.
Click to flip
What is the principle of wave-particle duality?
Click to flip
The principle of wave-particle duality posits that every particle or quantum entity exhibits both wave and particle characteristics.
Click to flip
What is Schrödinger's cat thought experiment?
Click to flip
Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment that illustrates the principle of superposition in quantum mechanics, where a cat is simultaneously both alive and dead.
Click to flip
What does the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle state?
Click to flip
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle.
Click to flip
What is quantum entanglement?
Click to flip
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where quantum particles become interconnected and the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of distance.
Click to flip
Who formulated the principle of complementarity?
Click to flip
Niels Bohr formulated the principle of complementarity, which describes how objects can have mutually exclusive properties that reveal themselves in different experimental setups.
Click to flip
What role does the double-slit experiment play in quantum physics?
Click to flip
The double-slit experiment demonstrates the wave-particle duality of light and matter, playing a crucial role in understanding quantum mechanics.
Click to flip
How does quantum superposition work?
Click to flip
Quantum superposition refers to the quantum system's ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured or observed.
Click to flip
What is Planck's constant?
Click to flip
Planck's constant, denoted as h, is a fundamental physical constant that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.
Click to flip
What is wavefunction collapse?
Click to flip
Wavefunction collapse is the process by which a quantum system transitions from a superposition of states to a single eigenstate due to measurement.
Click to flip
Who is responsible for the Copenhagen interpretation?
Click to flip
The Copenhagen interpretation was primarily developed by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg.
Click to flip
What is the significance of the quantum tunneling effect?
Click to flip
Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where particles pass through potential barriers they wouldn't classically be able to surmount.
Click to flip
What challenges did classical physics face that led to the development of quantum physics?
Click to flip
Classical physics couldn't explain phenomena like black body radiation, the photoelectric effect, and atomic spectra, leading to the development of quantum physics.
Click to flip
Why is the Bohr model of the atom significant in quantum physics?
Click to flip
The Bohr model is significant because it incorporated quantum ideas to describe electron orbits in atoms quantized by angular momentum.
