Light as a Wave - RecapLight as a Wave - Recap
Light exhibits several wavelike properties including
RefractionRefraction: Light bends upon passing from one substance to another)
DispersionDispersion: White light can be separated into colors.
DiffractionDiffraction: Light sources interact to give both constructive and destructive interference.

Blackbody Radiation & Max Blackbody Radiation & Max PlanckPlanck
The classical laws of physics do not explain the distribution of light emitted from hot objects.
Max Planck solved the problem mathematically (in 1900) by assuming that the light can
only be released in “chunks” of a discrete size (quantized like
currency or the notes on a piano). We can think of these “chunks” as particles of light
called photonsphotons.

Photoelectric EffectPhotoelectric EffectIn 1905 Albert
Einstein explained the photoelectric
effect using Planck’s idea of quantized
photons of light. He later won the Nobel Prize in physics for
this work.
Line Spectrum of HydrogenLine Spectrum of Hydrogen
In 1885 Johann Balmer, a Swiss schoolteacher noticed that the
frequencies of the four lines of the H spectrum obeyed the following
relationship:
= k [(1/2)= k [(1/2)22 – (1/n) – (1/n)22]]
Where k is a constant and n = 3, 4, 5 or 6.
n=3n=4n=5n=6
Rydberg EquationRydberg EquationWhen you look at the light given off by a H atom outside of the visible region of the spectrum, you can expand Balmer’s equation to a more general
one called the Rydberg Equation
= (cR= (cRHH)[(1/n)[(1/n11))22 – (1/n – (1/n22))22]]
1/1/ = R = RHH[(1/n[(1/n11))22 – (1/n – (1/n22))22]]
E = (hcRE = (hcRHH)[(1/n)[(1/n11))22 – (1/n – (1/n22))22]]
Where RH is the Rydberg constant (1.098 107 m-1), c is the speed of light (3.00 108 m/s), h is Planck’s constant (6.626 10-34 J-s) and n1 & n2 are positive
integers (with n2 > n1)
Bohr Model of the AtomBohr Model of the AtomIn 1914 Niels Bohr proposed that
the energy levels for the electrons in an atom are quantized
EEnn = -hcR = -hcRHH (1/n) (1/n)22
EEnn = (-2.18 = (-2.18 10 10-18-18 J)(1/n J)(1/n22))
Where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …n=1
n=2n=3n=4
Louis DeBroglie & the Wave-Louis DeBroglie & the Wave-Particle Duality of MatterParticle Duality of Matter
While working on his PhD thesis (at the Sorbonne in
Paris) Louis DeBroglie proposed that matter could
also behave simultaneously as an particle and a
wave.

vv = velocity (m/s)hh = Planck’s
constant (6.626 10-34 J-s)This is only important for matter that has a very small
mass. In particular the electron. We will see later that in some ways electrons behave like waves.

Werner Heisenberg & the Werner Heisenberg & the Uncertainty PrincipleUncertainty Principle
While working as a postdoctoral
assistant with Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg
formulated the uncertainty principle.
x x p = h/4p = h/4xx = position uncertainty
pp = momentum uncertainty (p = mv)hh = Planck’s constant
We can never precisely know the location and
the momentum (or velocity or energy) of an object. This is only
important for very small objects.
The uncertainty principle The uncertainty principle means that we can never means that we can never simultaneously know the simultaneously know the
position (radius) and position (radius) and momentum (energy) of an momentum (energy) of an
electron, as defined in the Bohr electron, as defined in the Bohr model of the atom.model of the atom.
Schrodinger and Electron Schrodinger and Electron Wave FunctionsWave Functions
Erwin Schrodinger, an Austrian physicist,
proposed that we think of the electrons more
as waves than particles. This led to the field
called quantum mechanics.
In Schrodinger’s wave mechanics the electron is
described by a wave function, . The exact wavefunction for each electron depends upon
four variables, called quantum numbers they are
n = principle quantum numbern = principle quantum numberl = azimuthal quantum l = azimuthal quantum
numbernumbermmll = magnetic quantum = magnetic quantum
numbernumbermmss = spin quantum number = spin quantum number

spend it’s time)spend it’s time)

# of radial nodes = n – l – 1
Velocity is proportional to length of streak,
position is uncertain.
Position is fairly certain, but velocity is
uncertain.
Schrodinger’s quantum mechanical picture of the Schrodinger’s quantum mechanical picture of the atomatom
1. The energy levels of the electrons are well known
2. We have some idea of where the electron might be at a given moment
3. We have no information at all about the path or trajectory of the electrons
