    Study Notes

    Atomic Spectra and Bohr's Model

    • Atomic spectra are linear, meaning atoms emit electromagnetic waves of a strictly defined wavelength.
    • Each atom has a unique radiation spectrum, like a "fingerprint".
    • According to classical physics, electrons moving around the nucleus should lose energy and eventually fall onto the nucleus, accompanied by the emission of ultraviolet light, known as the UV catastrophe.

    Bohr's Postulates

    • Bohr's first postulate: an electron in an atom can only move along special stationary orbits, and when in these orbits, the atom does not emit or absorb energy.
    • Each stationary orbit corresponds to a certain energy of the atom (Еп).
    • When moving in a stationary orbit, an electron must have an angular momentum that is a multiple of an integer number of Planck constants.
    • Bohr's second postulate: during the transition of an electron from one stationary orbit to another, one quantum of energy (hν) is emitted or absorbed.
    • The quantum energy is equal to the energy difference of these stationary orbits (hν = Еi - Еj).

    De Broglie's Explanation

    • An integer number of de Broglie wavelengths should fit along the stationary orbit of the electron (S = nλ).
    • The angular momentum (L) of an electron in a stationary orbit is equal to nℏ.

    Conclusion

    • Electron diffraction exhibits wave properties, and their behavior is probabilistic.
    • In some areas of space, electrons fall more often (diffraction max), while in others, less often (diffraction min).
    • It is impossible to predict exactly where a diffracted particle will appear.

    Quantum Mechanics

    • Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of microobjects using probabilities.
    • Instead of specifying exact coordinates, probabilities of detecting a micro-object at a particular point in space are calculated.

    Schrodinger Equation

    • The Schrodinger equation is the basic equation of quantum mechanics, describing the fundamental properties of matter.
    • The equation is used to find the wave function (ψ-function), which represents the probabilistic trajectory of a particle.
    • The square of the amplitude of the wave function (ψ2) is proportional to the probability of detecting a particle at a given point in space.

    Schrodinger and Hydrodynamics

    • Erwin Schrodinger, an Austrian theoretical physicist, used an optical-mechanical analogy to develop the Schrodinger equation.
    • Hydrodynamics is the basis of hemodynamics.
    • Pressure is the force per unit area, and is measured in Pascals (Pa).
    • Blaise Pascal's Law states that the pressure produced on a liquid or gas is transmitted to any point without change in all directions.
    • Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure inside a resting liquid at depth h, and is calculated using Р = ρhg.
