Question: Identify the correspondence principle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For a large system, the correspondence principles are identified, where calculations of Quantum and Classical physics match.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the correspondence principle.

The correspondence principle defines any system’s behavior by Quantum mechanical theories for Quantum numbers having higher values, reproducing classical mechanics. Thus for a higher energy level, the calculations done in Quantum mechanics must match classical mechanics.

02

Identification of Correspondence Principle.

According to scientist Niel Bohr, the correspondence principle states that for large systems, classical physics and Quantum physics conclude to the same result, and when conditions of classical and Quantum physics perfectly match, that’s called the correspondence limit.

Therefore for a large system, the correspondence principles are identified, where calculations of Quantum and Classical physics match.

Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the +x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s and then run 280 m west at an average speed of 4.0 m/s to a post. Calculate (a) your average speed from pillar to post and (b) youraverage velocity from pillar to post.

Equation (12.7) shows that an area ratio of 100 to 1 can give 100

times more output force than input force. Doesn’t this violate conservation

A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home. Her distance from her house as a function of time is shown in Fig. E2.10 At which of the labeled points is her velocity (a) zero? (b) constant and positive? (c) constant and negative? (d) increasing in magnitude? (e) decreasing in magnitude?

A rubber hose is attached to a funnel, and the free end is bent around to point upward. When water is poured into the funnel, it rises in the hose to the same level as in the funnel, even though the funnel has a lot more water in it than the hose does. Why? What supports the extra weight of the water in the funnel?

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?
