What is another word for atomic physics?

Pronunciation: [ɐtˈɒmɪk fˈɪzɪks] (IPA)

Atomic physics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of the atom and its properties. Synonyms for atomic physics include nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, subatomic physics, and particle physics. Nuclear physics focuses on the study of the nucleus of the atom and its interactions, while quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of particles on a subatomic level. Subatomic physics studies the constituents of atoms and their interactions, while particle physics focuses on the study of the fundamental particles that make up matter. All of these synonym terms refer to the study of the nature, behavior, and interactions of atoms, subatomic particles, and the fundamental forces that govern them.

Famous quotes with Atomic physics

  • There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.
    Eric Allin Cornell
  • From a consideration of the immense volume of newly discovered facts in the field of physics, especially atomic physics, in recent years it might well appear to the layman that the main problems were already solved and that only more detailed work was necessary.
    Victor Francis Hess
  • A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.
    Erwin Schrodinger
  • Maslow's psychology, firmly based upon Freud and Watson, simply points out that the optimistic side of the picture has been overlooked; the deterministic laws of our 'lower nature' hold sway in their won field; but there other laws. Man's freedom is a reality -- a reality that makes a difference to his physical, as well as his mental health. When Frankl's prisoners ceased to believe in the possibility of freedom, they grew sick and died. On the other hand, when they saw that Dachau had no chimney, standing out all night in the rain seemed no great hardship; they laughed and joked. The conclusion needs to be stated in letters ten feet high. In order to realise his possibilities, man must believe in an future; he must have a vision of something worth doing. And this will not be possible until all the determinism and pessimism that we have inherited from the 19th century -- and which has infected every department of our culture, from poetry to atomic physics -- has been dismissed as fallacious and illogical. Twentieth century science, philosophy, politics, literature -- even music -- has been constructed upon a that leaves half of human nature out of account.
    Colin Wilson
