This letter is used to represent the quantum of action
What is h?
100
This physicist developed the mathematics of the electron orbits within the atom.
Who is Niels Bohr?
100
This particle orbits the atomic nucleus.
What is the electron?
100
This principle makes precise quantum measurement impossible.
What is the Uncertainty Principle?

What does LHC stand for?
What is the Large Hadron Collider?
200
This physicist is considered to be the founder of Quantum Theory
Who is Max Planck?
200
This is the center of the atom
What is the atomic nucleus?
200
This particle resides in the nucleus of the atom and has a neutral electric charge.
What is the neutron?
200
This physicist came up with the wavefunction. You might remember his cat.

Who was Erwin Schrodinger?

200

These are specially designed metallic chambers, spaced at intervals along the accelerator


What are Radiofrequency Cavities?
300

The _______ effect is the emission of electrons when light shines on a material. It was explained by the newly discovered Quantum Theory.


What is the photoelectric effect?
300
If an atom has less than hv amounts of energy, then it cannot release any more energy for this reason.

What is the energy of an atom is quantized?

300

This particle resides in the nucleus of the atom and has a negative electric charge.

What is a neutron?
300
This interpretation of quantum mechanics was the original interpretation and is still accepted by many physicists today. A famous city is in the name.
What is the Copenhagen Interpretation?
300
This type of radiation occurs when particles travel faster than light can in that medium.
What is Cherenkov Radiation?
400

The infinite amount of possible frequencies of a light wave led to this catastrophe.


What is the Ultraviolet Catastrophe?
400
This principle prevents electrons from all crowding around the same quantum state.
What is the exclusion principle?
400
This particle will annihilate if it comes into contact with an electron.
What is a positron?
400
This interpretation suggests that there are an infinite amount of universes where every possibility occurs.
What is the Many Worlds Interpretation?
400

In a particle accelerator, these reveal the paths of electrically charged particles as they pass through and interact with suitable substances


What are tracking devices?
500

This theorem states that the total energy contained in the assembly of a large number of individual particles exchanging energy among themselves through mutual collisions is shared equally (on average) by all the particles.


What is the equipartition theorem?
500

These numbers often describe the energy levels of electrons in atom.

What are Quantum Numbers?
500
This is the smallest fermion that we have observed. It was predicted by Wolfgang Pauli and it is short for "little neutral one."
What is the neutrino?
500
This is my favorite interpretation of quantum mechanics. It suggests that the curvature of spacetime plays a role in the quantum measurement problem.
What is the Penrose Interpretation?
500
The Large Hadron Collider can reach energies up to approximately this amount.
What is 13 TeV?
