27.7 Wave-particle Duality
Experiments show light has wave properties or particle properties.
Diffraction Interference Photoelectric effect Compton scattering
Einstein → Eparticle = hfwave

27.8 Wave Nature of Matter
Do particles have wave properties?
De Broglie wavelength of a particle
Not noticed for macroscopic objects but important for microscopic objects
Diffraction of electrons from a crystal Shown for other subatomic particles as well

27.10 Early Models of the Atom Plum-pudding model and Rutherford’s
experiment

27.10 Early Models of the Atom Rutherford’s “planetary model” - the
atom is mostly empty space with a small positive nucleus.

27.11 Atomic Spectra
Each element has its own distinct set of spectral “lines” – like human fingerprints or UPC labels
Helium was discovered in the Sun (1868) before on the Earth (1882)
The solar spectrum has lines that were not known on the Earth at that time
Applications: astronomy, chemistry, forensics, …

27.12 The Bohr Model Why do atoms only emit and absorb at
certain wavelengths? Why are atoms stable?
Assumptions of Bohr’s theory 1. The e- moves in circular orbits around
the nucleus 2. Only certain orbits are stable 3. Radiation is emitted when the e- “jumps”
from a higher energy state to a lower one. 4. The size of the orbits is determined by
the e- orbital angular momentum.... 3, 2, 1, n 2πnhmvrn
