The earlier mentioned developments in part-1 led to the concept of wave-particle duality in which light was characterized as having both properties (wave and particle).
The wave theory of light explains the phenomena of interference of light and diffraction of light; and particle (or photon) theory of light explains the phenomena of photoelectric effect and Compton [...]

One of the fundamental implications of quantum theory is the uncertainty principle - that is, the fact that certain pairs of physical quantities cannot be measured simultaneously with arbitrary accuracy.
How does Werners Heisenberg uncertainty principle affect the determination of a particle’s location and velocity?
“Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the position and the the momentum of [...]

The introduction to chemical kinetics is the study of rate and mechanism by which one chemical species is converted to another. It is one of the parts of physical chemistry with the most developed mathematical description. Studying basics of chemical kinetics and successful practical application of knowledge obtained demand proficiency in mathematical formalization of certain [...]

If you add vinegar to bicarbonate of soda, the mixture fizzes - a gas is given off.
If you boil water in a kettle, steam is produced.
One of the above is an example of a chemical change, but which one is it?
The answer lies in whether a new substance has formed or not.
When water boils, liquid [...]
