  1. wave mechanics

    Wave Mechanics, also known as quantum mechanics, is a branch of physics that describes physical phenomena at the microscopic scale, such as the behavior of subatomic particles. It incorporates the wave-particle duality principle, which states that matter and energy can exhibit properties of both waves and particles. The behavior of these particles is described by wave functions, which are mathematical functions relating the probability distribution of a particle’s position to its momentum and energy.
