Hi, sorry, don't know where to post this question. I want to learn quantum mechanics and will someone please discuss with me the points like photoelectric effect, quanta, wave particle duality etc?
Thanks:)
Thanks:)
Well, you should say what is not clear for you so that people can explain and clarify it.Chemer said:Thanks for the reply:)
Actually I want to discuss the few basic topics with someone so that I can clear my concepts about them. The photoelectric effect, black body radiation, wave particle duality, Bohr atomic model etc.

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It explains how particles interact with each other and how they behave in different situations.
Quantum mechanics is important because it is the basis of many modern technologies, such as transistors, lasers, and computers. It also helps us understand and predict the behavior of particles and systems at a microscopic level, which has led to advances in fields like chemistry, biology, and materials science.
Quantum mechanics differs from classical mechanics in that it describes the behavior of particles and energy at a very small scale, while classical mechanics is used to describe the behavior of larger objects. In quantum mechanics, particles can exist in multiple states at once, while in classical mechanics, objects have a definite position and velocity.
No, while quantum mechanics is a very successful theory, it is not a complete explanation of the universe. It does not currently incorporate gravity, and there are still unanswered questions about certain phenomena, such as the observation of particles in two places at once.
Understanding quantum mechanics can be challenging, but there are a few things you can do to improve your understanding. These include studying the mathematical concepts and principles, reading and learning from reputable sources, and seeking help from experts or joining a study group. It also helps to have a strong foundation in classical mechanics, as many concepts in quantum mechanics build upon it.
