Essay / Quantum Physics: Quantum Mechanics - 1150
In the world of subatomic particles, the rules that normally apply to objects visible to the human eye are completely ignored. We can try to explain the behavior of subatomic particles using a term called quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics gives the probability of where a particle will be, such as point A or point B. It describes atoms or particles, really anything at that level or smaller, in the same way as relativity describes the laws of the size of objects. behave. But quantum mechanics itself goes much deeper than just saying it is used to predict where a particle will be located, it is also known as quantum physics. Quantum physics is based on quantum theory which comes from a series of three different experiments performed. in the 20th and 19th centuries. The double-slit experiment was the first to provide insight into quantum mechanics, and in fact occurred before quantum mechanics was even discovered. Thomas Young proposed a version dating back to 1801, which has since been repeated thousands of times by scientists. The double slit experiment is set up with two slits and a light source behind the slits, then once the light passes through the slits it forms an interference pattern. Before the double slit experiment, we knew that light behaved like waves. When scientists shine light through the slits, they find that it radiates toward each source, as if it were a completely new source, causing new ripples. Next, the scientists projected a single beam of light through which it formed a line interference pattern. Baffling the scientists, they then fired one atom at a time through the slits and, in return, the same results were observed. Give the idea that light acts like the middle of the paper......frequency with it serving as a time base. Once the oscillations per second are calculated, you have calculated the time for the clock.6. With all the new innovations of today and tomorrow, many innovations would not be possible without the discovery of quantum mechanics. It gave a whole new, in-depth look at the world of subatomic particles like never before. This is mind-blowing for the world of science and that in itself is what intrigues scientists, so many questions still remain unanswered. This challenges modern science as we sometimes know it. The theory of relativity goes against what it says, but yet quantum theory is still proven to be true time and time again through mathematical formulas and experiments. In conclusion, quantum mechanics helps us better understand how subatomic particles behave and where they can be positioned..
