Visualizing the Difference Between a Superposition and a Mixture
... The obvious difference between a superposition and a mixture is the absence of off-diagonal elements, ϕ1 ( x) ϕ2 ( x') ϕ2 ( x) ϕ1 ( x'), in the mixed state. This indicates the mixture is in a definite but unknown state; it is an example of classical ignorance. An equivalent way to describe the ...

... Now put 18 people (electrons) in the auditorium (atom). Note that no two people (electrons) can occupy the same seat (state)! So, when one row is filled, a new row is started. This is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics, i.e., no two electrons in an atom can exist in the same state. It is ca ...

... An electron enters a uniform electric field produced by applying a potential difference of 150 V between two oppositely charged parallel plates in a vacuum. The plates are separated by a distance d = 0.050 m and are of length L = 0.100 m. The initial velocity of the electron is 1.0 × 107 ms-1 parall ...

... Complex atoms contain more than one electron, so the interaction between electrons must be accounted for in the energy levels. This means that the energy depends on both n and l. A neutral atom has Z electrons, as well as Z protons in its nucleus. Z is called the atomic number. ...

... thereby the frequencies of the light emitted. Lorentz adopted the term ‘electron’ in 1899 and identified electrons with cathode rays. He showed how vibrations of electron give rise to Maxwell’s electromagnetic waves. In 1896, Lorentz jointly with Pieter Zeeman (1865-1943) explained the Zeeman effect ...
Electric Field
... • If the direction of an electric field is such that it opposes (acts against) the motion of a charged particle, work must be done to move the particle in that direction. • Potential difference is the work done per unit charge as a charged particle is moved between the points. • V = W/q (volts) ...
