any ideas on the first one? as a hint "duality" is something that has two distinct ideas or properties at once, so what might "wave-particle" duality mean?

zarkam21:

Wave-particle duality is an act in which there are two things going on between wave particles at once

Vocaloid:

well that's a good guess but what do you think those two "things" are?

zarkam21:

wave and particle

Vocaloid:

good, so "wave-particle" duality means that certain particles/waves, especially light, can be observed to have wave like and particle like qualities

Vocaloid:

any ideas about "quantized" light? as a refresher, a quanta is a discrete unit of energy

zarkam21:

so energy + light

Vocaloid:

so, when we say light is quantized, it is only emitted or absorbed in discrete units called quanta

zarkam21:

is this right

converting mass to energy applies to both fission and fusion fission is the one that occurs in power plants not fusion fusion produces less waste but it's not zero unfortunately not sure about the hydrogen one tbh not sure about the sun one but I think that's right

something to do with the mass right

zarkam21:

energy

Vocaloid:

not mass, it's a temperature and pressure restriction, the temperatures required are too high to be practical
