What is the atomic spectra, and how was it a problem? |
Each element absorbs specific spectrums of light. Question: why was hydrogen spectrum simple |
|
|
|
What was the issue with atomic structure? |
Atoms having electrons orbiting the atom would pull the electron toward itself, and collapse |
|
|
|
What is the photoelectric effect |
The metal emmitts electrons upon illumination. Threshold frequency, and intensifying the light did not speed up how fast they came off, shorter wavelength did increase speed |
|
|
|
How do you find the eigenfunction? |
You perform the operation, and are returned back the same function multiplied by a constant |
|
|
|
How does the born interpretation explain the wavefunction? |
The born interpretation takes the uncertainty principle into consideration, and determined that the position of a wavefunction cannot be known exactly. So integral of lambda *lambda dx gives the probability of the wavefunction existing in some space, dx |
|
|
|
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? |
The position and momentum cannot be simultaneously known, only one can be known with precision. |
|
|
|
What is an example of light acting as both particle and wave? |
Double slit experiment, constructive and destructive interference |
|
|
|
What is meant by atomic spectra? |
Each element absorbs and emits characteristic ranges, Rydberg made an equation predicting the wavelength |
|
|
|
What was the blackbody problem, and how was it solved? |
Understanding the relationship of blackbody radiation with light emitted and temperature. Planck decided that the oscillating energy is quantized. His eq predicts radiation at all T, and wavelengths |
