Quantum Physics
Summary
Photoelectric effect, Schrodinger equation, and Bohr model. From quanta to wave functions.
Photoelectric Effect
Einstein's Equation
hf = φ + KE_max
KE_max = hf - φ
φ = hf₀ (work function)
f₀ = φ/h (threshold frequency)Bohr Model
Energy Levels
E_n = -13.6/n² eV (hydrogen)
r_n = n²a₀ (orbital radius)
a₀ = 0.0529 nm (Bohr radius)Spectral Lines
1/λ = R(1/n_f² - 1/n_i²)
R = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ (Rydberg)Schrodinger Equation
Time-Dependent
iℏ ∂Ψ/∂t = ĤΨ
Ĥ = -ℏ²/(2m) ∇² + VTime-Independent
ĤΨ = EΨ
-ℏ²/(2m) d²ψ/dx² + Vψ = EψUncertainty Principle
