Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Quantum mechanics is the study of the behavior of the quanta at sub-atomic level.
The study of the motion of the sub atomic particles by using the laws of mechanics is called the quantum mechanics. The variation in the position of the sub atomic particles is studied in the quantum mechanics.
In the measurement of atomic domain, there are fundamental uncertainties in the momentum and position of an electron. The law of probability governs the sub-atomic interaction described by the quantum mechanics.
Conclusion:
The study of the behavior of the quanta at sub-atomic level is called quantum mechanics.
