  2. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. Factors that can affect transfer include: Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  3. Quantum superposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

    Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that states that linear combinations of solutions to the Schrödinger equation are also solutions of the Schrödinger equation. This follows from the fact that the Schrödinger equation is a linear differential equation in time and position. More precisely, the state of a ...

  4. Immanuel Kant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Kant

    Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. Born in Königsberg, Kant's comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Western philosophy, being called the "father of modern ethics", the "father of ...

  5. Optical resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_resolution

    Each element is the 6th root of 2 smaller than the preceding element in the group (e.g. element 1 is 2^0, element 2 is 2^(-1/6), element 3 is 2(-1/3), etc.). By reading off the group and element number of the first element which cannot be resolved, the limiting resolution may be determined by inspection.

  6. Fermi's golden rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi's_golden_rule

    Fermi's golden rule. In quantum physics, Fermi's golden rule is a formula that describes the transition rate (the probability of a transition per unit time) from one energy eigenstate of a quantum system to a group of energy eigenstates in a continuum, as a result of a weak perturbation. This transition rate is effectively independent of time ...

  7. Photoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect

    The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material caused by electromagnetic radiation ( light ). Electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons. The phenomenon is studied in condensed matter physics, solid state, and quantum chemistry to draw inferences about the properties of atoms, molecules and solids.

  8. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    In modern physics, the double-slit experiment demonstrates that light and matter can satisfy the seemingly incongruous classical definitions for both waves and particles. This ambiguity is considered evidence for the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. This type of experiment was first performed by Thomas Young in 1801, as ...

  9. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    For example, after completing a safety course, transfer of training occurs when the employee uses learned safety behaviors in their work environment. [1] Theoretically, transfer of training is a specific application of the theory of transfer of learning that describes the positive, zero, or negative performance outcomes of a training program ...
