... This (Hamiltonian) formulation works in many cases. In classical mechanics, however, the Lagrangian formulation is known to be equivalent to the Hamiltonian one. Thus, we seek an answer to the above question that relies on some analogue of the Lagrangian action. In 1920, P.A.M. Dirac made a mysterio ...

... Newton's theory of light ruled. Another reason for the widespread acceptance of Newton's theory is that one doesn't notice wave properties of light with the naked eye. For example, light casts sharp shadows, so the Newtonians argued that light couldn't possibly be waves, because it would bend around ...

... We know that X-rays are just a part of the EM wave spectrum. In 1923 Compton published results showing that X-rays also behave like particles and that these photons have momentum. In classical theory, an EM wave striking a free electron should cause the electron to oscillate at the EM wave frequency ...

Particle in a box
In quantum mechanics, the particle in a box model (also known as the infinite potential well or the infinite square well) describes a particle free to move in a small space surrounded by impenetrable barriers. The model is mainly used as a hypothetical example to illustrate the differences between classical and quantum systems. In classical systems, for example a ball trapped inside a large box, the particle can move at any speed within the box and it is no more likely to be found at one position than another. However, when the well becomes very narrow (on the scale of a few nanometers), quantum effects become important. The particle may only occupy certain positive energy levels. Likewise, it can never have zero energy, meaning that the particle can never ""sit still"". Additionally, it is more likely to be found at certain positions than at others, depending on its energy level. The particle may never be detected at certain positions, known as spatial nodes.The particle in a box model provides one of the very few problems in quantum mechanics which can be solved analytically, without approximations. This means that the observable properties of the particle (such as its energy and position) are related to the mass of the particle and the width of the well by simple mathematical expressions. Due to its simplicity, the model allows insight into quantum effects without the need for complicated mathematics. It is one of the first quantum mechanics problems taught in undergraduate physics courses, and it is commonly used as an approximation for more complicated quantum systems.
