What is the alternative to quantum mechanics?
Classical Mechanics and Wave Theory.
Does quantum and wave mechanics deal with matter?
Yes, as well as other things. Quantum mechanics (also called wave mechanics) is the only approach that can accurately predict the probability of where and in what state matter will end up, given certain initial conditions.
What is the particle-wave theory?
Quantum mechanics.
What is the mathematics of combining quantum theory with wave motion of atomic particles?
In short, it is called de Broglie wave (or matter wave). Which relates frequency and wavelength to momentum and energy. This relation then leads to group velocity which is an important part of quantum mechanics.
The mathematics of combining quantum theory with wave motion of atomic particles is known as?
I believe that is quantum mechanics, but I'm not 100%.
What kind of waves are helpful to man kind?
According to quantum mechanics everything is a wave.
What has the author William Vermillion Houston written?
William Vermillion Houston has written: 'Principles of quantum mechanics' -- subject(s): Quantum theory, Wave mechanics 'Principles of mathematical physics'
Who presented the keystone to wave mechanics?
For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.
What topics are studied in physics?
- classical mechanics - motion, velocity, acceleration, inertia, forces, momentum, etc. - electricity, magnetism, and light (electromagnetism) - wave mechanics - thermodynamics - quantum mechanics - quantum electrodynamics - quantum chromodynamics - superconductivity - general and special relativity - string theory and supersymmetry - cosmology (the list goes on and on)
Is electron a particle or a ware?
Particle or wave? It is both or either, depending on how it is observed, as is everything else in quantum mechanics.
How does a wave system function?
A wave system functions with a complex system of quantum mechanics. It is essentially a function of time and space that is very difficult to people measure.
How light is radiated?
Light can be considered as a small packet of energy (a quantum) called a "photon" carried along a wave or ripple in space-time, rather like a beach ball carried along in the trough of a wave across a body of water. A more detailed explanation requires an understanding of quantum mechanics.
