Properties of wave functions (Text 5.1)
... Classical mechanics turns out to be just an approximate version of quantum mechanics. The certainties of classical mechanics are illusory, and their apparent agreement with experiment occurs because ordinary objects consist of so many individual atoms that departures from average behavior are unnoti ...

Frequency is defined as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually one second: f = waves / time. (waves/second). One wave/second is called a hertz (Hz). 1 wave / s = 1 hertz (Hz) Frequency a ...

Introduction to Quantum Physics
... In the latter part of the 19th century experiments show that light incident on certain metallic surfaces caused electrons to be emitted from the surfaces. This phenomenon is known as photoelectric effect and the emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. In the below figure when light strikes the ...

Bohr–Einstein debates
The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science. An account of the debates was written by Bohr in an article titled ""Discussions with Einsteinon Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics"". Despite their differences of opinion regarding quantum mechanics, Bohr and Einstein had a mutual admiration that was to last the rest of their lives.The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The consensus view of professional physicists has been that Bohr proved victorious, and definitively established the fundamental probabilistic character of quantum measurement.
