Next: Suggested Problems Up: QUANTUM MECHANICS - Ch. Previous: Wave Mechanics

Consequences of Wave Mechanics:

1.
Electron Interference Pattern
2.
Uncertainty Principle

\begin{displaymath}\triangle x\triangle p\geq\frac{h}{2\pi } \end{displaymath} (35)

3.
Particle in a Box:

\begin{displaymath}\psi_n(x) = A\sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \end{displaymath} (36)

(fundamental modes)      n = 1,2,3,...

\begin{displaymath}P_n = \frac{h}{\lambda_n} = \frac{nh}{2L} \end{displaymath} (37)


\begin{displaymath}E_n = \frac{P^2_n}{2m} = \frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2} \end{displaymath} (38)

4.
Hydrogen Atom:

mvnrn = nh (39)


rn = aon2 (40)


\begin{displaymath}E_n = -\frac{ke^2}{2a_o}\frac{1}{n^2} \end{displaymath} (41)
