    Study Notes

    Wave-Particle Duality

    • Proposed by Albert Einstein, wave-particle duality suggests that particles, like electrons, exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.

    Quantization of Radiation

    • Max Planck theorized that electromagnetic radiation is quantized, introducing the concept that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete units called "quanta."

    Energy Composition

    • Max Planck assumed energy was made of small, indivisible packets known as "quanta," leading to the foundation of quantum theory.

    Theoretical Basis of Modern Physics

    • Quantum mechanics is the theoretical framework explaining the nature and behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic levels.

    Level of Matter and Energy

    • "Quantum physics" and "quantum mechanics" specifically refer to phenomena occurring at the atomic and subatomic levels, challenging classical physics understanding.
