What does it mean to describe something as being quantized?

From wiki: Quanta is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization. This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. There is a related term of quantum number. An example of an entity that is quantized is the energy transfer of elementary particles of matter (called fermions) and of photons and other bosons.

Why is density considered to be a property?

In this context, property does not mean a financial asset that is owned, but a characteristic. Any physical object has mass and it occupies space. Both these are essential characteristics - or properties - of matter. Divide the mass by the volume and you have another characteristic or property and this one is called its density.


The color of a substance is a physical property?

physical property, because physical properties can be observed without changing the substance; chemical properties must undergo a chemical change to observe it's chemical potentialColor can be most easily understood at the reflection of light off a material that is recognised by the chemical changes it causes to the rods and cones of a person's eyes.......Light or (or photon) is energy that we perceive with our eyes just as heat is energy you perceive as heat. The range of energy that we can perceive with our eyes is called the "visible range" and can often be seen in the rainbow. The difference between the infrared energy and the visible light energy is the frequency.......If we take a prism and pass white light through it we see the colors of light. the prism has caused a (Refraction) physical change in the white light and separated it into the various frequencies that cause different chemical changes in our eyes that our brains identify as colors.......An object such as the fruit we know as an orange has a skin that our eyes perceive as orange in color because the same white light hits the orange and only the reflected frequencies that impact our eyes are those that cause the chemical changes that our brains identify as the orange color.......With this understanding of how we perceive color we should be able to answer is color a chemical or physical property of matter.......Given that a change in color is fundamentally the change in the ability to physically change what frequencies of light are reflected back to, and perceived by the eye.......This has nothing to do with what caused the change in reflectivity and further suggests that color is an indicator rather that an actual property of matter when discussing the nitty gritty of things


What does physical appearance mean?

it mean that you say something about themHow something looks. In the field of genetics, physical appearance is called phenotype. For example, someone may have genes for shortness yet be tall him/herself. In that case, his/her genotype is hetrozygous for height (Tt) but his/her physical appearance, or phenotype, is tall.

Is thickness an intensive or extensive property?

In the physical sciences, an intensive property (also called a bulk property, intensive quantity, or intensive variable), is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system: it is scale invariant. Distance is an intensive property.
