How is energy transferred according to classic physics?
According to Newton and Maxwell, energy is transferred through particles and waves
100
Newton's laws work perfectly well on atomic scale.
False. if used they lead to strange results. They fail to explain the behavior of electrons and atoms.

b) rays
c) quanta
d) interferons
C

Tell one the difference between a particle and wave.
Particles do not show interference whereas waves do.
300
Electrons can behave like waves and like particles.
True.

What pattern is formed from the electrons in double slit experiment?
a) electrons impact on two places corresponding to two slits.
b) Electrons impact in an interference pattern of alternative light and dark fringes.
c) They impact at central area.
B
300
____ exhibits interference and transfered energy in discrete amounts.
quanta
400
In classic physics, do particles exhibit interference? then what do they do?
No, they deliver their energy in discrete amounts.
400
When two classical particles approach each other, one possible outcome for them is to pass through each other.
False. Classical particles do not interfere with each other (they can collide, but that is quite different).
400
Pillars of classical physics are built on the laws of
a) Newton and Einstein
b) Einstein and Plank
c) Ampere and Ohm
d) Newton and Maxwell
