Quantum Theory Micro-world Macro-world Lecture 14 Light propagates like a wave, & interacts as a particle p= E=hf h l Louis deBroglie Wave-particle duality is a universal phenomenon If light behaves as particles, maybe other “particles” (such as electrons) behave as waves Photons: particles: h p = l h l = p h “deBroglie l = p wavelength” Ordinary-sized objects have tiny wavelengths 30m/s -34Js 6.6x10 h = h = l = p mv 0.2kg x 30 m/s = 6.6x10-34Js = 1.1x10-34m 6.0 kg m/s Incredibly small the wavelength of an electron is not so small 9x10-31 kg 6x106 m/s h = h = l = p mv = 6.6x10-34Js 9x10-31kg x 6x106 m/s 6.6x10-34Js 5.4x10-24 kg m/s = 1.2x10-10m About the size of an atom Send low-momentum electrons thru narrow slits See a diffraction pattern characteristic of wavelength l=h/p as predicted by de Broglie or through a small hole “Diffraction” rings Matter waves (electrons through a crystal) “Diffraction” rings Electron waves through a narrow slit acquire some py y x Dy py py Waves thru a narrower slit y x py Dy wider py When the slit becomes narrower, the spread in vertical momentum increases y x l Dy/2 h h p 2 sin Dy Dy p Dy 2 p sin Dy h p y Dy h Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Dy Dpy > h Uncertainty in location Uncertainty in momentum in that direction If you make one of these smaller, the other has to become bigger Heisenberg tries to measure the location of an atom For better precision, use a shorter wavelength But then the momentum change is higher Dx Dpx > h Localize a baseball Dx Dpx > h h Dpx > Dx Suppose Dx= 1x10-10m Dpx > 6.6x10-34Js 1x10-10m About the size of a single atom = 6.6x10-24kgm/s A very tiny uncertainty Dvx > 6.6x10-44Js Dpx -23 m/s = 3.3x10 m = 0.2kg Localize an electron - me=9x10-31kg h Dpx > Dx Dx Dpx > h About the size of a single atom Suppose Dx= 1x10-10m Dpx > 6.6x10-34Js 1x10-10m = 6.6x10-24kgm/s Huge, about 2% of c Dvx > 6.6x10-24Js Dpx me = 9x10-31kg = 7x106 m/s uncertainty is inherent in the quantum world The Bohr-Rutherford Atom Nils Bohr Ernest Rutherford Physics 100 Chapt 23 1895 J.J.

Is all the mass spread throughout as in a box of marshmallows”? or is all the mass concentrated in a dense “ball-bearing”? Figure it out without opening (or shaking) Shoot bullets randomly through the box. If it is filled with marshmallows, all the bullets will go straight through without (much) deflection Figure it out without opening (or shaking) If it contains a ball-bearing most the bullets will go straight through without deflection---but not all Occasionally, a bullet will collide nearly head-on to the ball-bearing and be deflected by a large angle Rutherford used a-ray “bullets” to distinguish between the plumpudding & planetary models Plum-pudding: a ++ a a - - + + + + - - + -+ + + + -+ -+ - + + a + no way for a-rays to scatter at wide angles distinguishing between the plumpudding & planetary models a a a a - + - - Occasionally, an a-rays will be pointed head-on to a nucleus & will scatter at a wide angle Rutherford saw ~1/10,000 a-rays scatter at wide angles a a a a - + - - from this he inferred a nuclear size of about 10-14m Rutherford atom 10-10m Not to scale!!! 10-14m + If it were to scale, the nucleus would be too small to see Even though it has more than 99.9% of the atom’s mass Relative scales Aloha stadium Golf ball x10-4 Atom Nucleus 99.97% of the mass Classical theory had trouble with Rutherford’s atom Orbiting electrons are accelerating Accelerating electrons should radiate light According to Maxwell’s theory, a Rutherford atom would only survive for only about 10-12 secs sola Other peculiar discoveries: Solar light spectrum: Fraunhofer discovered that some wavelengths are missing from the sun’s black-body spectrum Other discoveries… Low pressure gasses, when heated, do not radiate black-body-like spectra; instead they radiate only a few specific colors bright colors from hydrogen match the missing colors in sunlight Hydrogen spectrum Solar spectrum Bohr’s idea “Allowed” orbits Hydrogen energy levels 4 3 1 + Hydrogen energy levels 2 1 + What makes Bohr’s allowed energy levels allowed? Recall what happens when we force waves into confined spaces: Confined waves Only waves with wavelengths that just fit (all others cancel themselves out) in survive Electrons in atoms are confined matter waves ala deBroglie However, if the circumference is exactly an integer number of wavelengths, This wave, as it goes around, will successive interfere turns will interfereand constructively with itself destructively cancel itself out Bohr’s allowed energy states correspond to those with orbits that are integer numbers of wavelengths Bohr orbits Bohr orbits Quantum Mechanics Erwin Schrodinger h 2 d V ( x ) E 2 2m dx 2 2 Schrodinger’s equation Matter waves are “probability” waves Probability to detect the electron at some place is 2 at that spot Electrons will never be detected here or here Electrons are most likely to be detected here Electron “clouds” in Hydrogen Nobel prizes for Quantum Theory 1918 Max Planck 1921 Albert Einstein 1922 Niels Bohr 1929 Louis de Broglie 1932 Werner Heisenberg … E=hf photons atomic orbits matter waves uncertainty principle
