Which equation describes the time evolution of a quantum system?

  1. Schrödinger Equation

  2. Maxwell's Equations

  3. Navier-Stokes Equations

  4. Einstein Field Equations


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Schrödinger Equation is a fundamental equation in Quantum Mechanics that describes the time evolution of a quantum system.

What is the basic unit of energy in Quantum Mechanics?

  1. Electronvolt (eV)

  2. Joule (J)

  3. Watt (W)

  4. British Thermal Unit (BTU)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The electronvolt (eV) is the basic unit of energy in Quantum Mechanics, representing the energy gained by an electron when it moves through a potential difference of one volt.

What is the principle that states that the position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously known with perfect accuracy?

  1. Uncertainty Principle

  2. Conservation of Energy

  3. Newton's Laws of Motion

  4. Maxwell's Equations


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Uncertainty Principle, proposed by Werner Heisenberg, states that the more precisely the position of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa.

What is the phenomenon in which two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the other?

  1. Quantum Entanglement

  2. Superposition

  3. Tunneling

  4. Quantum Interference


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quantum Entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the other, even when they are separated by a large distance.

Which physical quantity is quantized in Quantum Mechanics?

  1. Energy

  2. Momentum

  3. Angular Momentum

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In Quantum Mechanics, energy, momentum, and angular momentum are all quantized, meaning they can only take on discrete values.

What is the name of the equation that describes the wave-particle duality of matter?

  1. Schrödinger Equation

  2. de Broglie Equation

  3. Einstein Field Equations

  4. Maxwell's Equations


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The de Broglie Equation, proposed by Louis de Broglie, states that every particle has a wave-like nature and its wavelength is inversely proportional to its momentum.

Which experiment demonstrated the wave-particle duality of light?

  1. Double-Slit Experiment

  2. Michelson-Morley Experiment

  3. Stern-Gerlach Experiment

  4. Millikan Oil Drop Experiment


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Double-Slit Experiment, conducted by Thomas Young in the early 19th century, demonstrated the wave-particle duality of light by showing that light could interfere with itself, just like waves.

What is the name of the phenomenon in which a particle can tunnel through a potential barrier even if it does not have enough energy to overcome it classically?

  1. Tunneling

  2. Superposition

  3. Quantum Entanglement

  4. Quantum Interference


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tunneling is a phenomenon in which a particle can tunnel through a potential barrier even if it does not have enough energy to overcome it classically.

What is the name of the phenomenon in which a particle can be in multiple states at the same time?

  1. Superposition

  2. Tunneling

  3. Quantum Entanglement

  4. Quantum Interference


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Superposition is a phenomenon in which a particle can be in multiple states at the same time.

Which physical quantity is conserved in Quantum Mechanics?

  1. Energy

  2. Momentum

  3. Angular Momentum

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In Quantum Mechanics, energy, momentum, and angular momentum are all conserved quantities.

What is the name of the theory that combines Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity?

  1. String Theory

  2. Quantum Gravity

  3. Supersymmetry

  4. Grand Unified Theory


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Quantum Gravity is a theory that combines Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity to provide a unified description of the universe at both the quantum and gravitational levels.

Which experiment demonstrated the quantization of energy in atoms?

  1. Franck-Hertz Experiment

  2. Stern-Gerlach Experiment

  3. Millikan Oil Drop Experiment

  4. Double-Slit Experiment


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Franck-Hertz Experiment, conducted in 1914, demonstrated the quantization of energy in atoms by showing that electrons could only gain or lose discrete amounts of energy when interacting with atoms.

What is the name of the phenomenon in which a particle can interfere with itself?

  1. Quantum Interference

  2. Superposition

  3. Tunneling

  4. Quantum Entanglement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quantum Interference is a phenomenon in which a particle can interfere with itself, resulting in constructive or destructive interference patterns.

Which physical quantity is quantized in Quantum Mechanics?

  1. Energy

  2. Momentum

  3. Angular Momentum

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In Quantum Mechanics, energy, momentum, and angular momentum are all quantized, meaning they can only take on discrete values.

What is the name of the theory that describes the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions?

  1. Standard Model of Particle Physics

  2. String Theory

  3. Quantum Gravity

  4. Supersymmetry


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is a theory that describes the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions.
