Quantum Physics Test Questions
and Answers
Gravitational Force - Answer-acts over long distances
Photoelectric Effect - Answer-light hits a metal plate energizing and ejecting an electron.
Photon - Answer-a discrete packet of light
If electrons are not being ejected from a metal plate what should you change about the
light shining on it? - Answer-frequency
In the double slit experiment electrons caused what to form on the screen behind? -
Answer-Wave Interference Pattern
The exact position and exact momentum of an electron cannot both be known at the
same time. The more you know about one the less you know about the other... -
Answer-Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
What is light? - Answer-Stream of Photons and electromagnetic radiation.
Photon Emission - Answer-Release of photons as electrons lose energy and jump down
an orbital
Photon Absorbtion - Answer-Electrons take in a photon increasing its energy and
causing it to jump up an orbital.
