What is the difference between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics?
Aspect Classical Mechanics Quantum Mechanics Scale of Application Describes the motion of macroscopic objects (e.g., cars, planets). Describes the behavior of microscopic particles (e.g., atoms, electrons). Key Principles Based on deterministic laws (e.g., Newton’s laws of motion). Based on probabilistic principles (e.g., wave-particle duality). Certainty of Behavior Predicts the exact position and velocity of an … Read more
