The Copenhagen Interpretation is one the main important postulate of quantum mechanics, and i would not ignore it.. And to my question that if an electron behave like a particle or wavelength(at a specific period of time), can't be answered, because we don't know what is happening physically inside a particle, unlike classical physics. But yes, we can always draw possibilities about it, that is what quantum physics is about..

This reply was certainly not required.. Are you reffering to Juan?

Studiot, You speak french?? Tres bon!

Then how would you describe a "Particle" in quantum terms and not classical physics??

Yeah, pretty much. Thanks for the knowledge. Even X-Rays were discovered by an accident, but let's not get off topic.

Thanks Juangra. But is electron present as a standing wave or as a particle in the atom?? I have read in some book, that it is still a mystery and we can't figure out what goes inside the atom..

I have heard about the double split experiments, but performed with waves.. Why can't the question related to electrons be answered? Taking electrons on orbits might be wrong, because they are present in quantum number or energy states..

Can you please tell me a bit more in detail??

LIGHT We do know that photons behave like a wave and a particle both, that's what particle wave duality tells us.. 1)So which source of light behave likes a particle and which one like a wave, How do we know that?? 2)If a particle has larger wavelength it behaves like a wave and the one which has smaller wavelength behaves like a photon? 3)Photons have momentum, p=hv/c, do wave have some momentum? Electrons Electrons are present around the nucleus of an atom(we all know that) 4) Are they present there as particles, standing frequency, clouds or on orbits(which is the least i would prefer) ??

Yes, it will accelerate. Photons have do have momentum and they also do have energy, but very little. E=PC P=e/c Substituting E=hv P=hv/c But the amount of momentum will be less and thus it will take a large amount of time to reach to your destination..

An atom is not like a "mini solar system" that you have described above. If electrons followed a specific path and revolved around the nucleus, they ought to radiate energy, which would cause them to collapse (possitive and negative forces attract each other). You are combining "classical" physics with quantum physics...

That is incorrect, considering the fact that photons don't have mass, and they don't occupy space (BOSONS), yet some people consider it at as a "matter" I recommend you do not use this definition of matter..

Yes, it helps a lot.. Thanks for providing the link..

For example, consider a simple hydrogen atom, basically composed of a single proton. It has a tiny mass indeed. But in everyday quantities of matter there are a lot of atoms! For instance, in one kilogram of pure water, the mass of hydrogen atoms amounts to just slightly more than 111 grams, or 0.111 kg. Hence E=(MC2)2 + p2c2 Simplified E = MC2 = 0.111 x 300,000,000 x 300,000,000 = 10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules Why is the momentum always "0"?

PMB Light do not have any proper mass... But wen it travels at the speed of light "c", it gains some mass, becoming heavier than earlier.

How is the momentum Zero??

I think that E=MC^2 is slightly wrong.... I also want to add the fact that E=MC^2 was tested by atomic.bomb... According to me, 100percent of the mass is not converted inti energy.. 1) Is this true?? 2) It is a simplied version of E2= (MC2)2 p2c2.. I am not able to figure out how "p2c2" vanish, during the process of simplification???

So objects which have massless energy are said to travel at the "c"

So light does not have mass.. But wen it travles at the speed of light ("c"), it gains mass and the time slows down.. (Relativity) Right??

Time is something that helps us to distinguish between two actions that have happened.. Time is a continuation of progress of events that occur in the past, future and the present..... Is time travel possible???

Thanks for clearing the doubt... But as we know that photons are the elementary particles of light.. they have no mass, but how come light has mass??? Einstein proved that an object travelling at the speed of light has infinite mass.. I.E. m = m0 /sqrt(1 - v2/c2) We will get to know that the mass is infinite (of an object travelling at the speed of light) If photons are the elementary particles of light (with no mass), then how is it possible for light to have mass?????

Not able to understand "The ion electron method of balancing equations for oxidation and redox reactions".. Help!!!

I am new at quantum physics, so dont be harsh.. my question is that "Photons"(quanta of light) they are present in the forms of electromagnetic radiations. they have no mass.. but still they are said to be a Matter.. WHY????
