Quantum Theory Flashcards
1
Q
Equation for angular momentum in electrons
A
L=nh/2pi
L is angular momentum in kgm^2s^-1
n is energy level
h is plancks constant
2
Q
De broigle wavelength equation
A
n*lambda =2pir
n is orbital
lambda is wavelength in m
r is radius in m
3
Q
Breakdowns of classical physics
A
UV Catastrophe
4
Q
UV catastrophe
A
Relationship between the amount of black-body radiation produced and the temperature of the star. Classical physics predicted that at high frequencies infinite amounts of energy would be produced by the black body which is physically impossible.
5
Q
Compton scattering equation
A
Lambda =h/p
Where lambda is wavelength in m
h is plancks constantly
p is momentum
