quantum of

Definition von quantum of im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
quantum: Of a change, significant
quantum: Quantity, amount
The Congress's core ministerial panel on Friday gave its green signal to raising motor fuel prices but the quantum of increase emerged as a hitch.
quantum: The smallest possible, and therefore indivisible, unit of a given quantity or quantifiable phenomenon
The quantum of light energy was later called a photon.
quantum: {n} a quantity, amount, sufficiency
quantum: Something which comes in discrete units Eg, money is quantized (divided into units); it comes in quanta (divisions) of one cent
quantum: The basic value or unit of some quantized variable
quantum: Involving quanta
quantum: Latin - amount
quantum: One of the very small discrete packets into which many forms of energy are subdivided
quantum: The elementary quantity of EM energy that is transmitted by a particular wavelength According to the quantum theory, EM radiation is emitted, transmitted, and absorbed as numbers of quanta, the energy of each quantum being a simple function of the frequency of the radiation
quantum: The smallest discrete amount of any quantity (plural: quanta)
quantum: An elementary particle of electromagnetic energy in the sense of wave- particle duality See photon [IUPAC Photo]
quantum: Quantity; amount
quantum: The smallest amount in which energy can exist The size of a quantum depends on the wavelength of the energy
quantum: An elemental unit of energy; a photon of energy hf
quantum: Latin: amount or extent
quantum: (physics) the smallest discrete quantity of some physical property that a system can possess (according to quantum theory) a discrete amount of something that is analogous to the quantum in quantum theory
quantum: In physics, quantum theory and quantum mechanics are concerned with the behaviour of atomic particles. Both quantum mechanics and chaos theory suggest a world constantly in flux
quantum: The fixed amount of time a thread or process can run before being preempted
quantum: When used as a noun (plural quanta): a discrete quantity of energy, momentum or angular momentum, given in units involving Planck's constant h For example electromagnetic radiation of a given frequency f is composed of quanta (also called photons) with energy hf
quantum: Literally, the amount
quantum: A quantum leap or quantum jump in something is a very great and sudden increase in its size, amount, or quality. The vaccine represents a quantum leap in healthcare. quanta a unit of energy in nuclear physics. In physics, a discrete natural unit, or packet, of energy, charge, angular momentum, or other physical property. Light, for example, which appears in some respects as a continuous electromagnetic wave, on the submicroscopic level is emitted and absorbed in discrete amounts, or quanta; for light of a given wavelength, the magnitude of all the quanta emitted or absorbed is the same in both energy and momentum. These particlelike packets of light are called photons, a term also applicable to quanta of other forms of electromagnetic energy such as X rays and gamma rays. Submicroscopic mechanical vibrations in the layers of atoms comprising crystals also give up or take on energy and momentum in quanta called phonons. See also quantum mechanics. light quantum quantum chromodynamics quantum computing quantum electrodynamics quantum field theory quantum mechanics
quantum: A small, discrete unit of energy
quantum: Making use of quantum-mechanical superposition If you don't know what that means, well, I can't explain it in this sentence But it has nothing to do with the original meaning of the word 'quantum' (i e a discrete unit)
quantum: a discrete amount of something that is analogous to the quantum in quantum theory
quantum: In very general terms, a "quantum" is a quantity or amount, however, it is more universally used to define a discrete quantity of electromagnetic radiation
quantum: The indivisible unit in which waves may be emitted or absorbed
quantum: {i} amount; particular quantity; part, portion; large quantity; basic unit of radiant energy (Physics)
quantum: the smallest unit of a discrete property For instance, the quantum of light is the photon
quantum: (physics) the smallest discrete quantity of some physical property that a system can possess (according to quantum theory)
quantum: Describes a system of particles in terms of a wave function defined over the configuration of particles having distinct locations is implicit in the potential energy function that determines the wave function, the observable dynamics of the motion of such particles from point to point In describing the energies, distributions and behaviours of electrons in nanometer-scale structures, quantum mechanical methods are necessary Electron wave functions help determine the potential energy surface of a molecular system, which in turn is the basis for classical descriptions of molecular motion Nanomechanical systems can almost always be described in terms of classical mechanics, with occasional quantum mechanical corrections applied within the framework of a classical model [NTN]
quantum: [2] An interval on a measuring scale, fractions of which are considered insignificant
quantum: A definite portion of a manifoldness, limited by a mark or by a boundary
quantum: A property defineable as a number; a quantity
quantum: The application defined unit of time in which the processor is allocated
quantum: A feature of a network adapter that supports its detection of all frames sent on the network
quantum: The smallest discrete amount of any substance (plural: quanta)
quantum: quantity or amount
quantum: Indivisible unit in which waves may be emitted or absorbed
