Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that explains the behaviour of the tiniest matter such
as atoms, molecules and nuclei. (1)
Thanks to the ideas it put forward, scientists managed to explain all the new experimental evidence of the time that could not be explained by classical physics (also known as Newtonian physics, after Isaac Newton).
(2) A few years later, Isaac
Newton suggested that light was made up of tiny particles. Both of these theories were backed up by experiments. But neither theory could adequately explain on its own all of the phenomena associated with light.
Nearly two hundred years later, in 1900, Max Planck assumed that hot things send out energy in packets, and he named these packets quanta
(singular: quantum). (3) In 1905,
Albert Einstein published a paper based on
Planck's work to explain the photoelectric effect, and called the energy packets of light photons. According to this theory, when light shines on a metal surface, the photons in the light can carry enough energy to hit an electron in an atom in the metal and knock the electron out of the atom.
In 1920, while working on the idea that a moving particle had the property of a wave and thus could have a wavelength (that is, that there was a specific length to the waves of light), Niels Bohr decided to find the wavelength of an electron moving around the nucleus of an atom, lie found that an electron could have a stable orbit, which means that the electron in orbit is not radiating energy. He also found that an electron absorbed or radiated a certain distinct amount of energy only when moved to another stable orbit. (4)
It appears that quanta were being used by scientists to explain all sorts of phenomena that they could not explain before. However, the scientific community was divided on whether light was a wave or a particle because it behaved as both in different experiments. So they began to think of light as both a particle and a wave.
(5) This concept is true for both
matter (such as electrons) and energy (such as light). We can only conclude that light is somehow both a wave and a particle, or it is something else that we cannot quite understand and which physicists of the future will be able to explain.
In the final analysis, quantum mechanics explained two very important things: why atoms were stable and why atoms absorbed or released energy in certain ways.

Read the text and complete with the missing sentences below. There is one sentence which you do not need to use.
A Quanta were the modern answer to Newton's theories.
В Electrons could not inhabit the space between orbits.
С Quantum mechanics is used for
understanding the behaviour of systems at atomic length scales and smaller.
D The foundations of quantum mechanics were laid in the late 1600s, when Christian Huygens proposed that light was made up of waves.
E Then Albert Einstein began to wonder if light also delivered its energy in packets.
F This is now known as the wave-particle duality concept.
