Quantum Concepts Bohr Atom Light Quanta (particle-like waves)
Wave-like properties of particles Wave-Particle Duality L1 January 18

Energy Quanta for Light
Photoelectric Effect: Tmax is the energy of the electron emitted from a material surface when light of frequency f is incident. fo, frequency for zero KE, mat’l spec. h is Planck’s (a universal) constant h = 6.625E-34 J-sec L1 January 18
8
Photon: A particle -like wave
E = hf, the quantum of energy for light. (PE effect & black body rad.) f = c/l, c = 3E8m/sec, l = wavelength From Poynting’s theorem (em waves), momentum density = energy density/c Postulate a Photon “momentum” p = h/l = hk, h = h/2p wavenumber, k = 2p /l L1 January 18
9
Wave-particle Duality
Compton showed Dp = hkinitial - hkfinal, so an photon (wave) is particle-like DeBroglie hypothesized a particle could be wave-like, l = h/p Davisson and Germer demonstrated wave-like interference phenomena for electrons to complete the duality model L1 January 18

Newtonian Mechanics Kinetic energy, KE = mv2/2 = p2/2m Conservation of Energy Theorem Momentum, p = mv Conservation of Momentum Thm Newton’s second Law F = ma = m dv/dt = m d2x/dt2 L1 January 18

Quantum Mechanics Schrodinger’s wave equation developed to maintain consistence with wave-particle duality and other “quantum” effects Position, mass, etc. of a particle replaced by a “wave function”, Y(x,t) Prob. density = |Y(x,t)• Y*(x,t)| L1 January 18
12
Schrodinger Equation Separation of variables gives Y(x,t) = y(x)• f(t)
The time-independent part of the Schrodinger equation for a single particle with KE = E and PE = V. L1 January 18

Infinite Potential Well
V = 0, 0 < x < a V --> inf. for x < 0 and x > a Assume E is finite, so y(x) = 0 outside of well L1 January 18
15
Step Potential V = 0, x < 0 (region 1) V = Vo, x > 0 (region 2)
Region 1 has free particle solutions Region 2 has free particle soln. for E > Vo , and evanescent solutions for E < Vo A reflection coefficient can be def. L1 January 18
16
Finite Potential Barrier
Region 1: x < 0, V = 0 Region 1: 0 < x < a, V = Vo Region 3: x > a, V = 0 Regions 1 and 3 are free particle solutions Region 2 is evanescent for E < Vo Reflection and Transmission coeffs. For all E L1 January 18

K-P Impulse Solution Limiting case of Vo-> inf. and b -> 0, while a2b = 2P/a is finite In this way a2b2 = 2Pb/a < 1, giving sinh(ab) ~ ab and cosh(ab) ~ 1 The solution is expressed by P sin(ba)/(ba) + cos(ba) = cos(ka) Allowed values of LHS bounded by +1 k = free electron wave # = 2p/l L1 January 18
