Question 4 • Physics

A scientist is working with a new kind of quantum dot to make a dye. He is applying Newton’s laws to the particle, but it seems to be breaking these laws of physics. Which action will most likely help the scientist study the particle’s motion?

Answer
A
He needs to remember that the particle is too large for quantum analysis.
B
He needs to use quantum mechanics, not Newtonian mechanics, because this is a nanotechnology product.
C
He must determine new physical laws that only apply to quantum dots.
D
He must continue to use Newtonian mechanics, but he needs to learn more about the particle.
