Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all work for calculations.
1. Which concept describes the behavior of particles exhibiting both wave and particle properties?
Classical mechanics
Wave-particle duality
Special relativity
Thermodynamics
2. The Heisenberg Principle states that it is impossible to precisely know both the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously.
3. Quantum is a phenomenon where two or more particles become linked in such a way that they share the same fate, regardless of distance.
4. In quantum mechanics, energy is quantized, meaning it can only exist in discrete packets.
True
False
