Explain Einstein's equation E = mc2 in simple terms. Explain relativity versus quantum mechanics. What does E= mc^2 mean? How is it that light can travel the speed that it does without changing its own mass to infinite? Explain the terms, Radiation and Blackbody Radiation. ...
Suppose we keep on pushing Moore's Law—keep on making transistors smaller until they get to the point where they obey not the ordinary laws of physics (like old-style transistors) but the more bizarre laws of quantum mechanics. The question is whether computers designed this way can do ...
the matrix formulation had been used, which was very inconvenient and considered one of the greatest problems of quantum mechanics. Schrodinger instead came up with theHamiltonian operator, which gives the total energy of the quantum system.
Why is classical physics not sufficient to explain quantum mechanics? What is the collision theory of chemical reactions? What is lambda in gas laws? Can quantum physics explain consciousness? What things are measured with gas laws? What are the chemical laws explained by Dalton's atomic theory?
a) Explain why hermitian operators are important in quantum mechanics. b) Use the expression for the momentum operator \hat{p_x}to derive the expression for the kinetic energy operator \hat{T_x} . c Some chimney p...
You hitExplain for life, and get chemistry; you hitExplain for chemistry, and get atoms; you hitExplain for atoms, and get electrons and nuclei; you hitExplain for nuclei, and get quantum chromodynamics and quarks; you hitExplain for how the quarks got there, and get back the Big Bang ...
the electrons move through graphene a bit like photons (wave-like particles of light), at speeds close enough to the speed of light (about 1 million meters per second, in fact) that they behave according to both the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, where simple certainties are ...
Quantum biology asks a very simple question: Does quantum mechanics -- that weird and wonderful and powerful theory of the subatomic world of atoms and molecules that underpins so much of modern physics and chemistry -- also play a role inside the living cell? In other words: Are there ...
and tridents are commonly associated with sea gods. In quantum mechanics, either psi is used to represent the wave function of a particle, leading to a pun. (Psi is also used in mathematics to represent the sum of the inverse of the Fibonacci numbers, the division polynomials, the supergol...
