  2. The Photoelectric Effect Discovered by Max Planck and Heinrich Hertz, Germany, in the late 1800’s. Carbon Arc Light • Light from a carbon arc lamp was sent to a metal surface. • If the frequencyof the light is high enough, electrons leave metal surface with KE. • Emitter is connected to negative terminal of a battery. • Collector is attached to positive terminal. Result: The Photocell.

  3. The Explanation of the Photoelectric Effect The emission of electrons from a material that is bombarded with radiation in the form of light. Ephoton = hf with h = 6.6 x 10-34 J ·s LNK2LRN

  4. Contributors to the Photoelectric Effect and Quantum Theory Albert Einstein 1879-1955 Max Planck 1858-1947 Heinrich Hertz 1857-1894 LNK2LRN

  5. Parallel lines, same slope, Planck’s constant, h = 6.6x10-34 J∙s “threshold frequency” for different metals

  6. When red light is incident on a clean metal surface: Clean metal surface e e e e e e • no electrons are released, • No matter how long light shines on it, • No matter how intense the light source is.

  7. When UV light is incident on a clean metal surface: • electrons are released instantaneously, • however weak the light source. UV light e e e e e e e Clean metal surface

  8. Einstein put forth a theory: • Light energy is quantized. • Light consists of a stream of particles called photons. • The energy of each photon (E) depends on the frequency (f ) of the light. h f E=

  9. h is planck's constant red light has a smaller frequency Frequency increasing than violet light

  10. RULE: “One photon per electron, please.” ONE PHOTON GIVES ALL ITS ENERGY TO ONE ELECTRON TO MAKE A PHOTOELECTRON e e

  11. Summary of the Equations for Photoelectric Effect and Quantum Theory E = h·f Energy of a photon of light h = 6.6 x 10-34 J·s Planck’s Constant c = f · Wave equation for light, c = 3.0 x 108 m/s Wo = h·fo Work function, with fo = threshold frequency Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons based on stopping potential,Vo KEmax = q·Vo KEmax = E -Wo Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons based on photon energy and work function Einstein’s equation for conversion of matter to energy E = mc2

  13. History of Atomic Models (I) 1. Single indivisible particle, “atomos” Greek. Democritus(460-370 BC) 2. Plum Pudding Model J.J. Thomson(1856-1940), England, the CRT used to discover the electron.

  14. Apparatus Used to Find m/q for the Electron. Thomson’s CRT (photo) Schematic Drawing

  15. History of Atomic Models (II) 3. Planetary Model - imagine the solar system with the Sun as the nucleus and the planets as the electrons. Ernest Rutherford(1871-1937), England, used the gold-foil experiment to determine that • most of the atom is empty space (2) almost all the mass is in nucleus.

  16. The Rutherford Scattering(Gold Foil) Experiment

  17. Robert Millikan (1868-1953) and his Oil-Drop Experiment in 1909. Proved that the elementary unit of charge, 1.6x10-19 C only occurred in certain amounts (Quantized).

  18. History of Atomic Models (III) 4. Planetary-Quantum model was proposed to align atomic theory with the new physics of Quantum Theory. Niels Bohr(1885-1962), Denmark, determined the equations for rn = 5.29 x 10-11 m x n2 and En = -13.6 eV x 1/n2 n = 1, 2, 3, …

  21. “If waves(light) can act like particles, why can’t particles act like waves”. Proposed for the first time by Prince Louis Victor deBroglie (1892-1987), France. Combine these three equations. E = mc2 c = f · E = h·f Get a single equation for wavelength of a matter particle.  = h /(m∙v) The equation is:

  22. Based on the last discussion, can you then come-up with the equation for the momentum of a photon? Remember, if particles can act like waves, why can’t waves act like particles? The equation is: p = h / Useful constants: 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 J mass of electron = 9.11 x 10-31 kg mass of proton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg charge on the electron = -1.6 x 10-19 C charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10-19 C

  30. The Compton Effect the Compton effect is the scattering of a photon off of an electron that’s initially at rest if the photon has enough energy (X-ray energies or higher), the scattering behaves like an elastic collision between particles the energy and momentum of the system is conserved Arthur Compton (1892-1962) 31

  31. The Compton Effect The preceding is a rather messy set of equations to solve … here is the key result: The quantity h/mec is called the Compton wavelength of the electron, and has a value of 2.43x10-12m. PHYS HON, Chapter 27-28: Quantum Theory 32

  32. Example In a Compton scattering experiment, the incident x-rays have a wavelength of 0.2685 nm, while the scattered x-rays have a wavelength of 0.2703nm. Through what angle are the x-rays scattered? h/mec = 2.43x10-12m, the Compton wavelength 33

  33. Performed a series of scattering experiments with a-particles (recall a particles are He nucleus), 42 He + 9 Be 12 C +10 n James Chadwick and the Neutron Circa 1925-1935 Picked up where Rutherford left off with more scattering experiments… (higher energy though!) • Chadwick postulated that the emergent radiation was from a new, neutral particle, the neutron. • Applying energy and momentum conservation he found that the mass of this new object was ~1.15 times that of the proton mass. 1891-1974 Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1935

  34. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle “Regardless of how good the measurement apparatus is, it is impossible to measure all of the properties of a particle with arbitrary accuracy at any one time.” • Specifically, position, momentum, and energy, all at the same time Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976)

  35. SCHROEDINGER’S CLOUD THEORY 36 “The task is, not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees.“ Erwin Schroedinger (1887-1961) He developed the probability function for the Hydrogen atom (and a few others).  The probability function basically describes a cloud-like region where the electron is likely to be found.  The probable locations of the electron predicted by Schrödinger happen to coincide with the locations specified in Bohr's model.
