1 Chap. 3. Elementary Quantum Physics 3.1 Photons - Light: e.m "waves" - interference, diffraction, refraction, reflection with y E y Velocity = c Direction of Propagation z B z Fig. 3.1: The classical view of light as an electromagnetic wave. An electromagnetic wave is a travelling wave which has time varying electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.

2 The instantaneous intensity (energy flow per unit area per second) *Light: a stream of discrete energy packets (photons: "particles" of zero rest-mass), each carrying energy and momentum. - Young's interference eperiment: Path difference = for constructive interference = for destructive interference - Bragg's law: -ray beam from "a single crystal" (diffracted patterns of "spots") or "a polycrystalline material, powered crystal" (diffracted patterns of bright "rings" - no unique orientation of crystal aes) Eistence of a diffracted beam:

3 Photographic film Photographic film X-rays Detector 2 θ A θ Scattered X-rays d dsinθ dsinθ Scattered X-rays Single crystal Powdered crystal or polycrystalline material d B X-rays with all X-rays with single wavelengths wavelength (c) (a) (b) Fig. 3.3: Diffraction patterns obtained bypassing X-rays through crystals can only be eplained by using ideas based on the interference of waves. (a) Diffraction of X-rays from a single crystal gives a diffraction pattern of bright spots on a photographic film. (b) Diffraction of X-rays from a powdered crystalline material or a polycrystalline material gives a diffraction pattern of bright rings on a photographic film. (c) X-ray diffraction involves constructive interference of waves being "reflected" by various atomic planes in the crystal. Atomic planes Crystal

4 The Photoelectric Effect For an incident light with emitted (the current I is generated). onto a metal surface, the electrons will be where V o = the negative anode voltage at which the current I etinguishes. where h = Plank's constant. - The work function: KE m Cs K W υ 03 slope = h 0 υ υ 02 υ 01 -Φ 3 -Φ 2 -Φ 1 Fig. 3.6: The effect of varying the frequency of light and the cathode material in the photoelectric eperiment. The lines for the different materials have the same slope of h but different intercepts.

5 Compton Scattering - X-ray scattering by an electron: KE of the elelctron = momentum of the photon Recoiling electron X-ray photon c Electron φ υ, λ y θ Scattered photon υ', λ' c Fig. 3.9: Scattering of an -ray photon by a "free" electron in a conductor.

7 3.1.3, Blackbody Radiation - Rayleigh-Jeans law (classical): and where the spectral irradiance = the emitted radiation intensity (power per unit area) per unit wavelength, so that = the intensity in a small range of wavelength - UV catastrophe in the short wavelength range Escaping black body radiation Hot body Small hole acts as a black body I λ Spectral irradiance K Classical theory Planck's radiation law 2500 K λ ( µm) Fig Schematic illustration of black body radiation and its characteristics. Spectral irradiance vs wavelength at two temperatures (3000K is about the temperature of the incandescent tungsten filament in a light bulb).

The Electron as a Wave De Broglie Relationship - Electron: a wave of wavelength (wave-like & particle-like) - Electron diffraction eperiments: where ("real" particle) Time-Independent Schroedinger Equation - A travelling em wave: where = the spatial dependence. - The average intensity

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - For an electron trapped in a 1-dim infinite PE well in the region, The uncertainty in position = a, the uncertainty in momentum = For n = 1 (ground state), - Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: and

Its PE at A is less than the PE at D. When the car is the bottom its energy is totally KE. CD is the energy barrier which prevents the car making to E. In quantum theory, on the other hand, there is a chance that the car could tunnel (leak) through the potential energy barrier between C and E and emerge on the other side of the hill at E.
