Quanta

Quantum is a physical quantity that can only has a fixed value of a momentum wave . From De Broglie, matter's wave

We can see that

From Planck's measurement h has value

Quanta is a physical quantity that represent a massless momentum wave

Characteristics of Quanta

Wave-Particle Duality

Quanta process Wave-Particle duality

Wave like .
Particle like .

Quanta's States

Quanta exist in 2 states

Radiant photon at Threshold frequency . of a quantum energy
Non-Radiant photon at frequency greater Threshold frequency . of a quantum energy

Heiseinberg Uncertainty Priciple

states that

Quanta's energy , Photon , cannot exist in 2 states at the same times

There are 2 states of photons chances to find photon as radiant photon or Non-radiant photon is one half 1/2 which can be expressed mathematically as

Quantum Physics

Electromagnetic Wave Radiation

Experiment shows that electromagnetic wave radiation carries quantum energy

at of a Radiant photon that produce visible light
at of a Non-Radiant photon that produce electricity made of free electron

This can be deduce from , electromagnetic wave equation

Solving equation above, we have electromagnetic function

Electromagnetic wave radiation produces quantum energy travels at speed of light

  • Speed .
  • Quantum energy .
  • Quantum .
  • Wavelength .
  • Momentum .

Atom Decay

Experiment shows that . When atom absorbs electromagnetic radiation quantum energy . Electron of atom is released from atom going out off atom . When atom releases electromagnetic radiation quantum energy . Electron of atom is released from atom going inside atom

Free electron going out of atom

Free electron going inside of atom

Matter Decay

Alpha decay unstable radioactive material decays to become more stable . This type of decay releases Relative mass and Alpha photon travels at a speed relative to speed of light

Beta decay unstable isotope material decays to become more stable . This type of decay releases Relative mass and Beta photon travels at a speed equals to speed of light


Gamma decay collision of electron . This type of decay releases Relative mass and Gamma photon travels at a speed equals to speed of light
