It is a divison of sorts... think of a checker board. When you move the pieces you move one space forward or one space back. The starting and ending postion of the piece could be considered the quantized existance of the piece.
Motion and time on the otherhand are generally considered continous or flowing. Going back to the checkerboard, as you move the piece from one space to the next, you have to pass ever place inbetween. The checker doesn't just disappear and reappear.
In science, as particles get smaller and smaller they stop behaving by the same rules as larger masses. Their motion and existance can become quantized--for instance in chemistry when talking about electron states, it is useful to think of the electrons existing at quantized states or enegery levels.

∙ 14y agoThe term "quantized" means, is divided into discreet sections which are indivisible; or in other words, it is made of small sections that cannot be made into even smaller sections. In the science of quantum mechanics, it turns out that matter, energy, space and time are all quantized. There is a smallest quantity of each of these which cannot be subdivided into an even smaller quantity. One of these tiny, indivisible pieces would be called a quantum.

∙ 12y agoIt means that the physical quantity comes in discrete units, as opposed to being continuous. For example, while the amount of water in a glass appears to be continuous, in fact, it is quantized. If you have 10 billion molecules, you cannot add any less than one more molecule, to give you 10 billion and one molecules.
Many quantities that appear to be continuous are actually quantized. It is just that the quantum (the minimum amount you can add) is so small that it's difficult to notice.
"Quantized" can also refer to the end result of a process of measurement that uses discrete steps. For example, if you take a sound input and digitize it into a stream of ones and zeros, the apparently continuous sound input is said to be "quantized" into the ones and zeroes.

What does the fluoresence of a mineral mean?
to glow under a ultraviloet light
What does photodegrade mean?
The definition of photodegrade is of a substance to be decomposed by the action of light. It means to breakdown when exposed to sunlight and is a type of chemical change that results from light being absorbed.
What do yellow clouds on radar mean?
Yellow clouds on a radar mean that the rain quantities are not light nor heavy and the storm has a small chance of severe weather.
What does radiating or reflecting light mean?
Light is radiated from the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Radiation is a "shining out" from whatever is making the light. When we see the Moon we are seeing it because the Sun has radiated light out into space and some of it has lit up the Moon, which then reflects the moonlight to Earth. Light is reflected best by smooth and shiny materials such as plain glass or mirror glass.
How will painting a wooden box black affect temperature readings on the box?
The colour it's painted will affect what frequency of light the box absorbs, painting it purple would mean it reflects the purple light and therefore will have to subside the protons delivered by the light.
What does it mean for a property to be quantized?
It has a specific value
What does it mean to say that a physical quantity is quantized or conserved?

What did Max Planck consider quantized the energy of vibrating atoms or the energy of light itself?
Hop
What does it mean when energy is quantized?
when it is said that energy is quantized, it means that...you can have X, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc. energyyou can't have 1.5X, 2.2X. 3.9X, piX, etcHOPE THIS HELPS:)
In what way electrons quantized?
They have fixed energy values.
Bohr suggested that the energy of electrons in atoms is?
Quantized. (Number 4 if you are using what I think you are using.)
How can represent digital and analog information?
Digital quantized information and analog is just information. Like the letter "i" on your screen is digital and made up of a few pixels= quantized. The letter "i" drawn on a piece of paper is not quantized = analog.
Is a digital clock continuous or quantized?
It is quantised.
Is electron emits energy when it revolves in quantized orbit?
No. A quantized orbit means the energy is locked in as a constant. It would have to switch to a different orbit to emit energy.
Is time is also consist of particles like matter and Light?
No. But it is quantized. That means that there issuch a thing as the smallestpossible interval of time, which can't be broken up into any smaller pieces.
Which of the following is a quantized condition?
Food on shelves in a refrigerator
What spectrum is evidence for quantized change?
Line Spectrum
