absolute zero (0 K or −273.15 °C[1]). Under such conditions‚ a large fraction of the bosons occupy the lowest quantum state‚ at which point quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale. These effects are called macroscopic quantum phenomena. This state of matter was first predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in 1924–25. Bose first sent a paper to Einstein on the quantum statistics of light quanta (now called photons). Einstein was impressed‚ translated the paper himself from

seemed to have a similar structure to the solar system‚ but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces instead of gravity. The Bohr Model has been put to rest‚ but the quantum theory remains sound. The Bohr model was a primitive version of the Hydrogen atom. The Bohr model is still commonly taught to introduce students to quantum mechanics. The Wave Model was created by Schrodinger and he had written the wave equation to describe the new mechanics of particles. The model was more of a mathematical

an physicist is an expert in physics‚ and sometimes even dealing with living organisms. But there are many different types of physicist out there. there are Particle Physics‚ Astrophysics‚ Theoretical Physics‚ Mechanical Physics‚ Quantum Physics well known as (Quantum Mechanics) lastly there is Biophysics. But the type of physicist i want to be is to be an particle physicist. an particle physicist is a branch of physics dealing with the‚ properties‚ and interactions of elementary particles especially

all things in the universe‚ one must first realize the two pillars of modern physics. First is Einstein’s general relativity and then the concept of quantum mechanics. Relativity provides a framework for understanding the universe at a large scale‚ we are talking about stars‚ galaxies and even larger objects(galaxy clusters‚ black holes even). Quantum mechanics does the opposite‚ provides a framework for the smallest of scales: such as molecules‚ atoms‚

theory in which one-dimensional loops travel through space and also merge and lyse as time elapses. This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory‚ which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything." String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from stars and suns to apples and atoms‚ is made up of incredibly

studying at Gammelholm Grammar School Niels Bohr was a prominent physicist in his time. He made large contributions to the field of quantum mechanics and also in the understanding of atomic structure. Niels Bohr worked on the well known Manhattan Project‚ and received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. Niels Bohr is still remembered today for his research in quantum mechanics‚ nuclear physics and atomic structure. Bohr became well known in the scientific community when he received a Nobel Prize

1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)
