Chapter 1: From Classical to Quantum Mechanics

Intro, Sec 1.1, Sec 1.2

Read

Sec 1.3 Blackbody Radiation

Plank's Law (Wikipedia)

- All objects are essentially "hot" (considering the concept of absolute zero).

- All (hot) objects radiate light (electromagnetic radiation).

- The wavelength/frequency of the light emitted from a (hot) object is related to the temperature of the object.

- We can make a graph of wavelength (λ) or frequency (ν) as a function of temp (T), but at any given temperature light emitted has a range of λ or ν. So instead we develop some expressions using the term spectral density (ρ - rho).

Sec 1.4 The Photoelectric Effect

Meet in CSB 378

Activities

- Laptop check (this course will require you to use Excel and Igor-more later, and maybe Mathematica and ZOOM.

- Continue with Syllabus review...page 2, column 2...
