What is the main difference between particle physics and quantum physics?
There is none. To study particle physics you use the whole machinery of quantum physics, but written down in a different way. That means particle physicists use the formalism of quantum field theory, which is a more powerful way of doing quantum mechanics, it's just more useful in this context.
Who created Quantum Mechanics and is it true that it is replacing the old physics?
Quantum Mechanics "replaced" Classical Mechanics in particle physics in mid-1930s.
What does Quantum tunneling refer to?
Quantum tunneling is a physics phenomenon within the area of quantum mechanics. Basically it refers to when a particle can tunnel through a barrier that it could not surmount in classic physics.
What is a quantum number in the classification of elementary particles?
it is isospin - In physics, and specifically, particle physics, isospin (isotopic spin, isobaric spin) is a quantum number
What is a quantum field?
The quantum field theory is a theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models. These models are of subatomic particles in particle physics.
Is quantum mechanics same as quantum physics?
It most certainly is! It has to do with things that are very small. Atomic [or Nuclear] Physics is essentially the study of the quantum world.
Can classical physics explain the photoelectric effect?
No. To explain the photoelectric effect, you have to think of light as a particle, not a wave. The fact that light can be both a wave and a particle is part of quantum mechanics, not classical physics.
Why will gravity alter the path of light if light itself does not have any mass?
Quantum physics determined that light acts like an electromagnetic wave and a particle at the same time.
What is quantonics?
A quanton is any quantum entity that shows properties of both a wave and a particle. The term is used in physics.
What is the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum physics?
Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics describing the behavior of energy and matter at the atomic and subatomic scales. It explains it itself and Quantum Physics is the same deal. They're just two different ways in saying it.
What is the quantum physics of a moose?
There is no quantum physics of a moose. Quantum physics is a type of theoretical physics, and its laws do not apply to physical objects
What is the difference between chemistry and physics?
Chemistry is a subset of physics. Physics is a general term that can be applied to astronomy, particle physics, aerodynamics, quantum electrodynamics, electricity, etc. whereas chemistry is the more definitive study of the behaviour of atoms and molecules and their separate uses.
