This branch of statistical mechanics which treats and extends classical thermodynamics is known as statistical thermodynamics or equilibrium statistical mechanics. We apply statistical mechanics to solve real systems (a system for many particles). We can easily solve Schrodinger’s equation for 1 particle, atom or molecule. For many particles, the solution will take the form: total = linear…

Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to. The descriptor “quantum” arises because, in contrast with classical mechanics, certain quantities take on only discrete values. However, some quantities still take on continuous values, In quantum…

Classical mechanics deals with the question of how an object moves when it is subjected to various forces, and also with the question of what forces act on an object which is not moving. The word “classical” indicates that we are not discussing situations in which an object moves with a velocity which is an…

Mechanics is the branch of Physics dealing with the study of motion when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. There are two sub disciplines Classical Fields and Quantum Fields
