Popis: Classical mechanics was unable to explain certain phenomena: black body radiation, the photoelectric effect, the stability of atoms and molecules as well as their spectra. Quantum mechanics, created mainly by Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger, explained these effects. The new mechanics was based on six postulates: • Postulate I says that all information about the system follows from the wave function ψ ψ . The quantity ∣ψ∣ 2 ∣ ψ ∣ 2 represents the probability density of finding particular values of the coordinates of the particles, the system is composed of.
