WARM UP “The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room on Earth.” -Sir Wilfred Grenfell 1.What does this mean to you? 2.How can you be of service to others?
2
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
3
Wave Mechanics Transmit energy Wavelength and Frequency –Inversely proportional
4
Wave Mechanics Electromagnetic spectrum –Continuous gradient
5
Quantum Theory Max Planck’s emission spectra show levels of energy in e -
6
Quantum Theory Light released when e - drop from a higher level (excited state) to a lower one (ground state)
7
Wave / Particle Duality Albert Einstein’s photoelectric effect experiment showed certain light waves release metal e - –Light is both a wave and a particle (photon)
8
The Big Bang Theory
9
Wave / Particle Duality Louis de Broglie – Dual Electron e - behave like both particles and waves
10
Quantum Mechanics Erwin Schrodinger –Energy levels/shells are really wave regions
11
Quantum Mechanics
12
The Big Bang Theory
13
Quantum Mechanics Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle –Werner Heisenberg –You can’t simultaneously know the speed and position of an e - You can’t “see” the wave and particle at the same time
14
Quantum Mechanics
