Wave Particle Duality

Quantum mechanics was initially developed to better explain atomic structure and spectra of light emitted by isotopes. It incorporates quantization of physical properties, quantum entanglement, the uncertainty principle, and wave-particle duality, phenomena that classical physics cannot explain. Quantum mechanics has succeeded where classical mechanics and electromagnetism fail by providing the quantum-mechanical atomic model.

Quantum mechanics was initially developed to provide a better explanation and description of

the atom, especially the differences in the spectra of light emitted by different isotopes of the
same chemical element, as well as subatomic particles. In short, the quantum-mechanical atomic
model has succeeded spectacularly in the realm where classical mechanics and electromagnetism
falter.
Broadly speaking, quantum mechanics incorporates four classes of phenomena for which
classical physics cannot account:

quantization of certain physical properties

quantum entanglement

principle of uncertainty

waveparticle duality
