of Puzzling The blackbody intensity falls to zero at both long and short wavelengths, corresponding to low and high frequencies, with a peak in the middle at the location given by Wien s law. At that time, physicists knew that electromagnetic waves form standing waves. Waves on a string have frequencies following the pattern: f n = n f 1, n = 1, 2, 3,... In classical theory: No limit to the value of n. Ultraviolet Catastrophe In Mechanics: p photon = hf c = h λ

Atomic Spectra of Helium
of Classical Atom Existence of spectral lines required new model of atom, so that only certain amounts of energy could be emitted or absorbed. By about 1890, most physicists and chemists believed matter was composed of atoms consisting of electrons and protons. The behavior could not be explained by Newton s mechanics. Plum Pudding Model
Scattering Experiments of Ernest Rutherford (30 August 1871-19 October 1937) Rutherford expected the relatively massive α particles would pass freely through the plum-pudding atom. A small number of alpha particles were actually deflected through very large angles.
of Review Question 1 According to the Rutherford experiment (and later model) of the atom, most of the volume of an atom: A is empty space. B was occupied by the nucleus. C contained positive charges. D excluded electrons.

of Bohr Model of Atom Existence of spectral lines required new model of atom, so that only certain amounts of energy could be emitted or absorbed. Bohr Model had certain allowed orbits for electron: (works nicely for atoms with one electron, e.g. H, He +, etc.)
of Modern Atom Emission energies correspond to energy differences between allowed levels. Modern Model has electron cloud rather than orbit:

Each orbital can have at most two electrons in it. 2 An orbital s energy = kinetic + potential The energy of a photon is: E photon = h f Since energy is conserved, the energy of the photon is the difference in energy of the atom before and after emission or absorption. 3 Electrons normally reside in the lowest energy orbitals Ground state 4 Electrons can be excited to higher energy orbitals.

of Wait a second: Why are electrons waves? Atomic Wave-particle duality: Electrons have both particle and wave characteristics. Like all objects in the universe, electrons travel as waves when they move from place to place. It is only when you look for them that you find them as particles at particular locations. www.colorado.edu/physics/phet/web-pages/simulations-base.html
of Wave Characteristics of Electrons Clinton J. Davisson (1881-1958) Lester H. Germer (1896-1972) Observed interference effects when electrons reflected from different atomic layers in crystal of nickel metal (1927). This is described by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: x p h/4π
of Atomic Electrons reside in standing waves: An electron in an orbital does not emit light. An electron emits light when it changes orbitals.
of Atomic Electrons reside in standing waves: An electron in an orbital does not emit light. An electron emits light when it changes orbitals. Light travels as a wave (a diffuse pattern) is emitted or absorbed as a particle (a photon): Photon energy = Planck constant frequency E = h f An atom s orbitals differ by specific energies: Energy differences establish photon energies. Atom emits a specific spectrum of photons.
