Study Notes
Schrodinger Equation and Hydrogen Atom
- Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is covered in Part 3.
- The Schrodinger equation is applied to hydrogen-like atoms.
Schrodinger Equation
- Part 2 of the course covers this topic.
- The Schrodinger equation is a differential equation used to find the wave function of a particle.
- The equation can be used for different numbers of dimensions, namely, 1, 2, and 3-dimensional motion.
- Time-independent and time-dependent forms of the equation are discussed, including solutions for free particles.
Electron Microscopy
- Part 4 of the course discusses this topic.
Wave-like particle of electron
- This is covered in Part 4.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Relationships
- Part 1 of the course covers this topic.
Wave-Particle Duality
- Part 1 of the course discusses this topic.
Young's double-slit experiment
- Demonstrates wave behavior of light.
Hertz's discovery
- UV light causing sparks between metal electrodes, showing particle-like behavior of light.
Einstein's explanation of photoelectric effect
- Explained in 1905, showing particle-like behavior of light.
Broglie's proposed concept of wave-particle duality of matter
- Proposed in 1924 that electrons showed wave-like behavior.
Schrödinger equation
- Highlighted the wave-like nature of electrons.
Davisson and Germer's electron diffraction experiments
- Experiments demonstrating the wave-like behavior of electrons.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
- Shows fundamental limitations on simultaneous measurement of certain properties, like position and momentum.
Electron Microscopy Development
- Developed utilizing the wave nature of electrons in the 1950s.
Grading Criteria
- 20% participation (e.g., pre-lecture/in-class quizzes)
- 20% homework (original work uploaded as PDFs to LEB2, within 1 week).
- 30% final exam (multiple-choice, true/false, and subjective questions; 90% of material is from lectures, with comparable difficulty to examples. 10% includes more challenging problems from lecture concepts).
Outline
- 1.1 Wave-Particle Duality
- 1.2 Uncertainty Relationships
- 1.3 Heisenberg Uncertainty Relationships
- 2.1 Behavior of waves at the boundary: including wave function continuity and slope continuity at boundaries.
- 2.2 Confining a particle: discussing discrete energy levels in confined systems (e.g., infinite potential well). Also includes the concept of quantized energy and wave function implications in confined space.
- 2.3 Schrodinger Equation: discussing both time-dependent and time-independent solutions, including for free particles.
- 2.4 Schrodinger Equation: Probability Density, Probability of detection and Normalization: calculating probability density, probability of detection in a given interval, relating it to wave function magnitude, and normalization conditions.
- Discussing both time-dependent and time-independent solutions of the Schrödinger equation, including for free particles.
Photoelectric effect
- Phenomenon of electrons emitting from a metal surface when exposed to light of sufficient frequency.
- Light is treated as photons.
- Emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.
- This effect was first observed and explained by Einstein.
- The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency.
- Light intensity is related to the number of photons.
Threshold frequency (fo)
- Minimum frequency of incident photons for emitting photoelectrons.
Work function (W)
- Minimum energy needed for an electron to overcome the metal's surface energy.
- Photon energy equals the work function for electron emission.
Compton Effect
- X-rays are scattered by electrons in a process leading to a change in wavelength.
- Total momentum and energy are conserved in the interaction.
De Broglie's hypothesis
- Material particles moving with momentum also have wave-like behavior.
- The wavelength of a particle is related to its momentum.
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy of a particle is the energy due to its motion.
Relativistic Mechanics
- Consideration of high speeds where speeds approach a significant fraction of the speed of light, which requires relativistic implications.
- Relativistic implications would become important for very high electron energies.
