The Schrödinger Equation is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. It describes how particles like electrons behave as waves, changing over time in unpredictable but mathematically precise ways. This equation helps us understand atoms, design technologies like MRI machines and lasers, and explore the deep mysteries of quantum probability, wavefunctions, and particle-wave duality in the microscopic world.
This Parent Q&A page offers clear, accurate answers to common questions about quantum superposition. It supports home education parents in explaining one of physics’ most surprising ideas — that particles can be in multiple states at once. With examples, analogies, and age-appropriate explanations, it’s suitable for curious learners aged 8–16.
Light doesn’t act like just a wave or a particle—it shows properties of both. This wave particle duality is a core idea in modern physics. From double-slit experiments to photon behaviour in solar panels, understanding light helps explain everything from rainbows to quantum theory.
The double-slit experiment changed science forever by showing that tiny particles like electrons behave like waves. Even stranger, just observing them can change how they act. This article explores wave-particle duality, quantum interference, and the mystery of how reality itself responds to being watched.
This article explores the strange but true concept of wave-particle duality—where light and matter behave as both particles and waves. Learn how experiments like the double-slit experiment and the photoelectric effect revealed this dual nature, and find out how it affects everything from lasers to solar panels.
Quantum physics explores how tiny particles behave in surprising ways. From electrons being in two places at once to particles connected across space, this article explains everything in simple, clear steps. Learn how the quantum world is different from our everyday experiences, and why that matters.
Schrödinger’s Cat is a strange and clever thought experiment used to show how weird quantum physics can be. Find out what it means, why it was created, and how it changed science forever. This article explores superposition, particles, and parallel possibilities.
