EXPERIMENTS THAT PROVE LIGHT’S A WAVE
Review - 19th Century
![Page 4: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Interference - "Double Slit Experiment" - constructive/ destructive
• This was first shown in 1801 by Thomas Young, who sent sunlight through two narrow slits and showed that an interference pattern could be seen on a screen placed behind the two slits.
![Page 5: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2) Polarization - "Filtering of Light -
• Un-polarized light is composed of light oscillating in all directions.
• Polarizers convert un-polarized light into polarized light that is parallel to the axis of the polarizer.

EXPERIMENTS SUPPORTING PARTICLE THEORY OF LIGHT
(20th century)
![Page 9: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Photoelectric Experiment
• Experiment in the late 1800's baffles scientists– light was not acting like a wave!
• - When light is exposed to the surface of certain metals, the light energy is absorbed and electrons are ejected

Photoelectric effect
Emitted electrons are called PHOTOELECTRONS
Light (or other electromagnetic radiation)
Photosensitive metal
The light’s energy causes the emission of electrons
![Page 11: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Unexpected ResultsAs long as you are above a certain frequency
(threshold frequency, f0) ...• When you brighten the light source - Get
more electron emission
Rate of Photoelectronemission
Intensity of light (Brightness)

… BUT…not faster (more energetic) electrons!!!!
K.E. ofPhotoelectrons
Intensity of light (Brightness)
Kinetic Energy of Photoelectrons remains constant
Results contradict Wave Theory!
![Page 13: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
According to Wave Theory
• Increasing brightness, increases the energy of the wave
– Therefore - Should Increase Kinetic Energy of Electrons Emitted
• It Didn't!!
![Page 14: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Black -Body Radiation and Planck’s Hypothesis
• When a solid is heated it emits electromagnetic radiation
• As the temp is increased, the radiation shifts toward shorter wavelengths– i.e. Heated solids glow red, then orange, and finally
white• Ideal black body or cavity radiator is a hollow
solid with a small opening drilled in one of the walls – used to study black-body radiation
![Page 15: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What did they find?
• When solid was heated, the radiation emitted through the opening only depended on temperature not material
• Why?• Heating caused the atoms to oscillate and then
the energy was released as EM radiation• In 1900, Max Planck found that the atomic
‘oscillators’ can only have certain quantized energies
![Page 16: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Photons and quantized energy
• In 1905, Albert Einstein published a theory explaining the photoelectric effect using quantum theory developed by Max Planck.
• Einstein said that light and other electromagnetic radiation consist of discrete, quantized bundles of energy – PHOTONS
• The energy of a photon depends on its frequency.
![Page 17: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Energy of a Photon
• The energy of a quantum is given by the equation:E = h f = h c/λ
• E is in Joules• f is in Hz• Planck’s constant, h , is a universal constant
h = 6.63 x 10-34 Js• Small energy values of quanta are often expressed in
eV1eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J
![Page 18: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
homework
• In TEXT book• READ pgs 722-734• Do Practice problems 1-9 all
![Page 19: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation
KEmax = hf – W• When a photon with energy hf strikes a
surface, a part of its energy (the work function, W) frees the electron from its bonds.
• Remainder energy gives electron its KE
![Page 20: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example
• A photon with frequency = 8.0 x 1014 hz strikes a photoemissive surface with work function = 1.7 x 10-19 J.
Calculate: (a) the maximum KE of ejected electrons
(b) the threshold frequency of the surface
![Page 21: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Solution
(a) KEmax = hf – W= (6.63 x 10-34 Js)(8.0 x 1014 hz) – 1.7 x 10 -19 J= 3.6 x 10 -19 J
(b) The threshold frequency (f0) is the frequency at which KE of photoelectrons is zero. KEmax = hf – W = 0
So W = h f0 1.7 x 10 -19 J = (6.63 x 10 -34 Js) f0 f0 = 2.6 x 10 14 hz

THE COMPTON EFFECT2nd proof of photon theory
![Page 23: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Compton effect
• Arthur Compton, a US physicist, bombarded a block of graphite with x-rays of known frequency
• He discovered that both electrons and x-rays emerged from the block as shown and found– Scattered x-ray freq, f’ < f , incident x-ray freq and both
energy and momentum were conservedGraphite block
Incident X-ray (frequency = f)
θ1
θ2
Scattered x-ray (frequency = f’)
Scattered electron(velocity = v)
![Page 24: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Magnitude of momentum of a photon
• Photon‘s energy & momentum decrease equalsElectron's energy & momentum increase.
**Mass, energy, momentum is conserved. **p = E/c = hf/c = h/λ
Note: High frequency light (uv, x-rays, gamma radiation) behaves more like particles and less like waves;
Low frequency light (radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation) behaves more like waves and less like particles
![Page 25: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
p = E/c = hf/c = h/λ
• Which color of light has the greatest momentum?
VioletHighest f, Smallest λ
![Page 26: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
example
• Calculate the momentum of an x-ray photon whose wavelength is 1.0 x 10 -10 meter
Solution p = h/λ = (6.63 x 10 -34 Js) / (1.0 x 10 -10 m)
= 6.6 x 10 -24 kg m/s
![Page 27: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Matter Waves
• In 1924, French Physicist, Louis De Broglie, stated that nature was symmetrical and that
p = mv = h/λshould hold for both light and matter.p = momentum of the particleλ - called DeBroglie Wavelengthh - Planck's constant
The waves associated with matter, matter waves, do not behave as other waves in that they do not travel in space
![Page 28: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Matter waves
• The wavelength of ordinary objects are insignificant because their masses are too large.BUT…
• Electrons are small enough to have wave behavior.
• 1927- Diffraction and interference patterns were observed for electrons. – A scientist passed electrons through tiny double
slits and observed interference patterns
![Page 29: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
example
• Calculate the wavelength of a proton whose speed is 5.0 x 10^6 m/s
Solutionp = mv = h/λλ = h = ( 6.6 x 10 -34 Js) .
(mv) (1.66 x 10 -27 kg)(5.0 x 10 6 m/s) = 8.0 x 10 -14 m

Summary
• Light behaves like a wave in interaction with large objects and like particle with very small objects like electrons

![Page 32: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of the element.
• An atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Protons have a positive charge.• Electrons have a negative charge.• Neutrons have no charge. (They are
neutral.)
What is an Atom?
![Page 33: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Thomson discovered that electrons have a low mass, and that there is such a thing as a negative charge.
• He concluded that because there is a negative charge, there must be a positive charge in order for an atom to be neutral.
• Thought an atom consisted of a uniform distribution of positive charge in which electrons are embedded like plums in a pudding.
Thompson’s Model of the Atom
![Page 34: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Ruther fo rd ’s Mode l• Earnest Rutherford proposed another model of the
atom.• He directed a beam of massive, positively charged
particles at extremely thin gold foil.• A small number of particles were scattered throughout
the foil at large angles• this concentration of mass and positive charge in the
atom is located at the atom’s center (nucleus).

• He concluded that the nucleus is only 1/10,000 the diameter of the average atom.
• He described the atom as being a miniature solar system; the nucleus being the center where all positive charges are contained, and the outer surroundings include the electrons.
• The electrons move in orbits around the
nucleus and are held in orbit by Coulomb forces of attraction between their negative charges and the positive charge of the nucleus.
![Page 37: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Did you know ...
• If the atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a....
• Marble !!!!!
• That's why most alpha particles go straight through!!!
![Page 38: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Did you know ...
• A neutron star is created when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses. This tremendous gravitational collapse squeezes all the empty space out of the atom. Electrons merge with protons and create neutrons.
• The density of a neutron is so enormous that a teaspoon of a neutron star would weigh 20 billion pounds!!!
![Page 39: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Can’t be explained using Rutherford’s Model
1. Orbiting electrons are accelerating charges and thus should produce electromagnetic radiation. This release of energy should cause electron’s orbit to decrease leading to the collapse of atoms. But atoms are STABLE
2. When heated or subjected to high potential differences, atomic gases (ex. hydrogen), produce light emission spectra, rather than continuous emissions like a rainbow. WHY?
![Page 40: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Line emission Spectra
• The diagram below represents a partial line spectrum (in the visible light region).
• Note: The wavelengths are in nanometers.
![Page 41: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Niels Bohr
• Early 1900's - Danish scientist Neils Bohr discovers the strange behavior of electrons.
• Tried to explain why electrons were able to maintain their positions outside the nucleus rather than spiral into the nucleus and cause the atom to collapse.
![Page 42: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Bohr Model• In the Bohr Model the neutrons
and protons (symbolized by red and blue balls in the adjacent image) occupy a dense central region called the nucleus, and the electrons orbit the nucleus much like planets orbiting the Sun (but the orbits are not confined to a plane as is approximately true in the Solar System).
• Electrons in atomsare restricted in the energies they can possess, give off and absorb.
![Page 43: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Bohr proposed
• That the hydrogen atom possesses distinct orbits• At any instant, the single electron of hydrogen
can be associated with one and only one orbit.• Each orbit gives the hydrogen atom a specific
amount of energy (Bohr called these energy levels)
• Energy levels are identified by integers – Quantum Numbers
![Page 44: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Definitions Atom• Stationary state: when an electron
is in a particular orbit• Energy level: a specific amount of
energy • Ground state: when an electron is in
its lowest energy level• Excited state: an electron in any
level above the ground state
![Page 45: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Excitation: any process that raises the energy level of electrons in an atom– Can be the result of absorbing the energy
of colliding particles of matter– Excitation energies are different for
different elements •Atoms rapidly lose the energy of their various excited states as their electrons return to the ground state• Ionization potential: the energy required to remove an electron from an atom to form an ion

To identify an unknown element
- Electrify, Heat it up and analyze its colors.
- Compare emitted colors to a database of elemental spectral lines

Bohr’s conclusions
1. Permitted orbits of an electron in an atom are limited2. Each orbit is a different energy3. Inside orbits have lower energies than the outside ones4. When electrons in an atom change energy states they
absorb or release energy • Up energy level, energy absorbed
• Down energy level, energy released as light
• A single photon of energy is given off when electrons go down energy levels.

The Cloud Model
• Current model of the atom able to explain the structure of all of the atoms in the Periodic Table.
• Uses Quantum Mechanics to describe the probability of finding an electron
• Quantum Mechanics does not place electrons in specific orbits – complicated equations describe the shape, location and density of each electron cloud in an atom.
• Electron Cloud: The most probable regions of the electron’s location

The Nucleus
• After Ernest Rutherford proposed his nuclear model, physicists began to question whether the nucleus had a structure of its own.
• There is still no complete answer to this question.
• However in the mid 1930s, a simple nuclear model was in place.
![Page 58: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Nucleons
• The components of the nucleus are called nucleons and are described by a number of properties including electric charge.
• Nuclear charge is measured by elementary charge(e) rather than the coulomb.

Isotopes
• Atoms that have the same atomic number but have different mass numbers
• All atoms of the same element have the SAME number of PROTONS
• However, isotopes have DIFFERENT number of NEUTRONS
• Ex: Hydrogen, Deuterium,and Tritium

Strong Nuclear Force• Positively charged protons in any nucleus containing more than
one proton are separated by a distance of 10-15 meter• Large repulsive Coulomb force exists, the gravitational force of
attraction is too weak to counterbalance this electrostatic repulsive force.
• How is nucleus able to stay intact?• STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE – 100 times stronger than
electrostatic force ; Strongest force known to exist!• At distances greater than a few nucleon diameters, the strong
force diminishes rapidly and becomes much less than gravitational and electrostatic forces.

Mass Defect and Binding Energy
• The mass of the atomic nucleus is less than the sum of its individual nucleon when measured separately (mass defect)
• Why?• The binding energy of a nucleus is the amount
of energy that must be added in order to separate the nucleus into its component nucleons
![Page 69: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Fundamental Particles • Democritus introduced the word which in
English translates as atom • Elementary Particles
– The name given to protons, neutrons and electrons
• Today we use the term "fundamental" for the six types of quarks and the six leptons
![Page 74: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Classification of Matter• Hadrons: Particles made of quarks. Protons,
Neutrons and their Anti-particles• Leptons: Are NOT made of sub particles. Electrons
are examples of Leptons• Hadrons are further broken into Baryons and
Mesons. ( both break down into Quarks)
![Page 75: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Hadrons• Hadrons break down into two groups
–Baryons are made of 3 Quarks –Mesons made up of 2 quarks and
anti-quarks***(must add up to an integer not a
fraction)
![Page 76: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Leptons• Leptons are fundamental particles that have no
strong interactions
• Lepton is Greek for "light particle”• electron there are heavier leptons, of which the first
to be found was the muon • The TAU is 12th (quarks + leptons) fundamental
building blocks of all matter.
![Page 77: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Quarks• Quarks are fundamental matter particles that
are constituents of neutrons and protons and other hadrons
• Proton -- composed of two Quarks up quarks and a down quark
![Page 78: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Sample Problem• A Baryon may have a charge of
– -1/3e– 0e– +2/3e– +4/3e
• Correct answer is 0e (all types of matter must have an integer charge)
![Page 79: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Scale of nature
• Particles are classified by size and charge
• Forces give all matter their characteristics and properties
![Page 80: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Neutrinos (type of Lepton)
• These particles are so small that they pass right through the Earth without interacting with a single atom!!!
![Page 81: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Four fundamental interactions
• Force : the effect on particle due to another particle
• Interaction: the forces and decays which affect a given particle
![Page 82: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Strong Force• Quarks and Gluons have a type of charge that
is NOT electromagnetic• The “color” charged particles are very
powerful (STRONG)• Quarks are glued together with GLUONS
(Nuclear Energy)
![Page 83: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Weak Force• The stable matter of the universe is made up
of the two least massive quarks: UP and Down and the least massive Lepton, the electron ( A Hydrogen Atom)
• When a quark or lepton changes type (muons changing to an electron) is called a “flavor” weak interaction
![Page 84: Intro to Modern Physics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050821/568163f1550346895dd5712a/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
The components of the nucleus are called nucleons.
The two principle nucleons are the proton with a charge of +1e and the neutron which is uncharged.
