Photoelectric Effect, Figure 1.4 (Sec 1.4)
Particle-Wave Duality (sec 1.5/1.6 - eq. 1.11)
Emission Spectra/Rydberg Eq. (Sec 1.7 - eq. 1.13)

Chapter 2

Properties of Waves (Sec 2.2)

- Standing wave derivation (eq. 2.10)

- construction/destruction of waves

- Classical Non-Dispersive Wave Equation (eq. 2.11)

Derivation of Classical Non-Dispersive Wave Equation to QM Equivalent/time-independent Schrodinger Eq. (Sec 2.3 - eq.2.21)
Basics of Operator Algebra (operator, eignefunction, eigenvalue) (Sec 2.4)
Orthogonal (eq. 2.31), Normalized (see ex prob 2.6), and complex conjugate. (Sec. 2.5)

Chapter 3

Postulate 1 - wave function fully describes particle (sec 3.1)
Postulate 2 - operators (sec 3.2)
Postulate 3 - eignevalues (sec 3.3)
Postulate 4 - Expectation Value (sec 3.4)

Chapter 4

Particle in a 1D Box (Sec 4.2)

- boundary conditions

Chapter 5, partial (lab)

A "real-life" 1D PIB - conjugated diene/polyene

- wavefunction (same as 1D box)

- energy levels (calculated using 1D box energy)

- given a conjugated polyene

determine molecular/box length (WebMO)
considering the number of π-electrons, evaluate the "n" associated with the HOMO and LUMO.
predict λ_max --> ΔE=hc/λ.
given λ_max predict molecular length (ie. box length)
