Quantum probability is a natural consequence of Schrödinger’s formulation; Heisenberg’s includes it explicitly.
In terms of quantum theory, increasing the intensity of light means increasing the number of photons.
In 1923, Arthur Compton’s (1892-1962) light scattering experiments provided further support for Einstein’s hypothesis for the particle nature of light.
Although possible, helium does not easily solidify due to quantum effects related to its small atomic size.
The probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics is due to Max Born.
Ice is one of very few solids that melts when pressure is applied; example: ice skating.
Shorter wavelength blue light is scattered more by air molecules than red light. It’s this “Rayleigh scattering” that results in the blue color of the sky.
Only a single fluid exists at the liquid-vapor critical point; it exhibits properties of both phases.
When a liquid has been heated to a temperature above its boiling but still doesn’t boil, it’s superheated.
If a liquid is cool rapidly enough it can miss the freezing point and end up as a supercooled liquid.
