What is quantum mechanics?

• A type of weather science that predicts storms using colorful energy waves.

• A set of instructions for building robots that can think and move on their own.

• A branch of physics that explains how very tiny particles—like electrons and photons—behave, especially when they don’t follow the usual rules we see in everyday life.

• A way to make objects shrink so small that they disappear from sight.

From a physical science perspective, the light God spoke on Day 1 of Creation was most likely

• visible light

• a rainbow

• electromagnetic energy

What is the photoelectric effect?

• When light shines on metals, electrons (photoelectrons) are ejected from their surface.

• The photoelectric effect is the generation of heat in a material when exposed to light.
• The photoelectric effect is the absorption of light by a material.

The experiment that proved light behaving as a particle AND a wave was

• Isaac Newton's Prism Experiments

• Young's Double-Slit experiment.

• Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiments
