Momentum actually happens in atomic-scale size

Friction that occurs when atoms moving have opened our understanding about atom
What will you say if the classical physics’ law actually can be implemented in the atomic scale? You might have stated that the person who declares this thing is little bit out of his mind. But, the truth is, the classical physics does happen in the size of atom. It means, the modern physics’ law and theory such as Einstein’s relativity theory is not the only physics’ law that occurs in the atom.

When this event happened, many scientists got confused as the current theory suggested about the atom must be applying the modern law or quantum system. But, it turns out, it is not only those two physics’ laws. According to the study conducted by Matthias Sonnleitner, Nils Trautmann, and Stephen M. Barnett, the atom conducts bizarre condition when moving. Based on their observation, when an atom moves, they will generate small burst of light. This emission sometimes produced a new force and it also generates friction when forcing.

However, when the atoms move identically but in stable condition, they spit out light beams because of some inductions and produce nothing on the corresponding force as the respond. The problem is, how could be happening? The only problem that happens from the movement of atom is their uncertainty position of electron. But, why it is because of moving they alter their physical factors?

To understand the phenomenon, the same scientists perform experiment to identify and investigate how can the extra energy was occurring. The result was mind-bugling as the unexpected situation was happening. Based on their observation, the scientists found that the reason why the atoms change while moving together identically is their protons properties. During the identical movements, the protons act both as particles and waves implying to the physical properties. For instance, when they act as waves the protons experience the Doppler effect indicating the presence of interferences. In wave, the Doppler effect cause interferences indicating the change of wavelength or energy. Subsequently, when the atom moves, the emission could be either between higher or lower regarding of the wavelength suggesting the change of colour of lights – if it is visible.
But, when acting as particles then what would happen?

It turns out the answer lies on the presence of Newton Laws of Motion and Momentum. Newton’s laws explained how the particle moves based on its acceleration and mass. In certain system, for instance, 3-dimension system, the vector of particle influences the force energy. On the other hand, Momentum suggests that the amount of energy when a particle moves can be understood by understanding its velocity and mass. For macro-scale, the momentum system would be considered as neglected as the mass is static so the only significant influence lies on the velocity. But, when we go deeply to the atomic-scale, both of mass and velocity provide greater impact to the presence of the energy.

To be conclude, this breakthrough teaches us that in atomic scale the classical physics also regulates while at the same time the relativity’s theory of Einstein also happens. This makes the conclusion that the mass and energy are interchangeable implying the conservative theory of Energy occurs.
