Description for Exploring Quantum Physics Through Hands-on Projects
Paperback. This book allows readers to gain an intuitive understanding of the principles behind Quantum Mechanics through hands-on construction and replication of the original experiments that led to the current view of the quantum world. All of the experimental equipment can be built out of relatively inexpensive materials that are readily available. Num Pages: 288 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 233 x 157 x 21. Weight in Grams: 432.
Build an intuitive understanding of the principles behind quantum mechanics through practical construction and replication of original experiments With easy-to-acquire, low-cost materials and basic knowledge of algebra and trigonometry, Exploring Quantum Physics through Hands-on Projects takes readers step by step through the process of re-creating scientific experiments that played an essential role in the creation and development of quantum mechanics. Presented in near chronological order from discoveries of the early twentieth century to new material on entanglement this book includes question- and experiment-filled chapters on: * Light as a Wave * Light as Particles * Atoms and Radioactivity * ...
