Quantization & Planck’s Constant
Energy is only given off at the atomic level in discrete increments where E = hf
Photoelectric Effect
Photoelectric Effect
Wave/Particle Duality
Wave/Particle Duality
Lois de Broglie (1924)
If waves (i.e. light) can act as a particle when it interacts with matter, then a particle can act like a wave when traveling through space :
Wavelength = h/momentum , = h/p, h = 6.6 x 10-34 j-s
Uncertainty Principle
px >= h/2
Et >= h/2
