Back to Planck, etc…

Page 15: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

the UV catastrophe

Pre-1900 theory

Theory & experiment disagree wildly

Page 16: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Planck’s solution

EM energy cannot be radiated or absorbedin any arbitrary amounts, but only in discrete“quantum” amounts.

The energy of a “quantum” depends on frequency as

Equantum = h fh = 6.6 x 10-34 Js

“Planck’s constant”

Page 17: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Other “quantum” systems

Page 18: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

The quantum of the US monetary system

We don’t worry about effects of quantizationBecause the penny’s value is so small (~10와 )

Page 19: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Suppose the quantum were a $1000 bill

A quantum this large would have anenormous effect on “normal” transactions

Planck’s quantum is small for “ordinary-sized” objects but large for atoms etc

“ordinary”pendulumf = 1 Hz

Hydrogen atomf 2x1014 Hz

Equant= hf =6.6x10-34Jsx1Hz

=6.6x10-34J

Equant= hf

=(6.6x10-34Js)x(2x1014Hz)

=(6.6 x 2) x 10-34+14J

=1.3 x 10-19Jvery tiny

about the same

as

the electron’s KE

Typical energy ofa tot on a swing:

Etot = mghmax

Equant=6.6x10-34J

Classical vs Quantum world

In everyday life,

quantum effects

can be safelyignored

At atomic & subatomic

scales,quantum effectsare dominant &

must be considered

This is because Planck’s

constant is so small

Laws of naturedeveloped

withoutconsideration ofquantum effects do not work for

atoms

Experimental results

Electron KE (electron Volts)

For light freq below f0,no electrons leave the cathode

Even if the light Is very intense

0 0.5 1.0 1.5

Experimental results

For light freq above f0,the KE of electrons that leave the cathode increases with increasing freq

But does not changeWith light intensity

Electrons incathode areaccelerated bythe E-field ofthe light wave

And, thereforeLarger acceleration

Page 34: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Electron KE should depend on E-field strength light intensity

Not what is

observed

Page 35: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

But that’s not what is observed

Electron KE (electron Volts)

f0

0 0.5 1.0 1.5

Above f0,the KE onlydepends on freq, & not on the light’s intensity

Below f0, no electrons jump out of the cathode no matter what the light’s intensity is

Page 36: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Einstein’s explanation

KEelectron = hf -

Light is comprised of particle-like

quanta each with energy Equant = hf

The quanta collide with electrons &Transfer all their energy to them

Each electron needs a minimum energy to escape the cathode. This is called

If Equant is less than , the electron can’t escape

If Equant is greater than , the electron escapes & the quantum energy in excess of becomes electron KE

Page 37: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Light quanta “photons”

Einstein’s light quantawere given the name“photons” by Arthur Compton

Page 38: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Photon Energy for red light

Red light: f = 4.0x1014 Hz

Ephoton = hf

What is the photon’s rest mass?

m = m0 m0 = m =

m0 = 0 Rest mass = 0

Photon’s momentum

For any particle: p=mv

for a photon: m=Ec2 & v = c

p = cEc2

Who’s right??

Waves explain diffraction & interference

Photons explain photoelectric effect & Compton scattering

Page 55: Black-body Radiation & the Quantum Hypothesis

Impossible to explain interference with particles

With 2 slits openno light goes here

Block off one slit

Now lightcan go here
