Question

The branch of physics that mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles is called _____.
A)​statistical mechanics
B)​quantum mechanics
C)​thermodynamics
D)​astrodynamics
E)​electromagnetism

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantum mechanics mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles such as electrons, photons, and atoms. Statistical mechanics is the branch of physics that studies the behavior of large collections of particles. Thermodynamics deals with the relationship between heat, energy, and work. Astrodynamics is the study of motion and dynamics of celestial objects. Electromagnetism deals with the interaction between electrically charged particles. None of these adequately describe the wave properties of submicroscopic particles.
