Is light a wave or is light a particle!?!
![Page 13: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AIM: How do we describe a particle of light? • Do Now: which experiment shows light is a wave
and which experiment shows light is a particle?
![Page 14: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What do we call a particle of light?
A PHOTON!!• A photon is a small ‘packet’ of light
• Any single photon has a fixed, discrete energy. • The intensity of visible light can be increased or
decreased only by changing the number of photons present.
• The same rules hold true for all electromagnetic waves outside the visible range.
![Page 15: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Discrete Energy?? • Discrete energy is like money, you can only have integer multiples of
a minimum amount.– For money, what is this minimum amount?
• A photon can only carry integer numbers of a minimum energy– This minimum energy is denoted by Planck’s constant
• h= 6.63x10-34Js• Planck’s constant is modern physics’ version of the
penny• The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency (and
wavelength)

UnitsA joule is a large unit of energy. When you are talking about
small electron, we use an electron volt instead
1eV=1.6x10-19JEx1. A photon has 3.5eV of energy. How many Joules of
energy is that?
Ex2. A photon has 4.8x10-19J of energy, how many electron volts is that?

Atomic Structure
A brief History
![Page 20: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Democritus- Greek Philosopher~300BC
• The word atom means smallest piece. Something that can not be divided.
• Atoms are made of the same ‘stuff’ but differ in size and shape
• Atoms are in constant motion• Atoms can combine to form different types of
matter
![Page 21: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
John DaltonLate 1700s
• All elements are made up of atoms• Atoms of the same element are all the same
but differ from atoms of different elements.• Atoms can group together to form molecules• Chemical reactions are changes in
combinations of atoms, not changes in the individual atoms themselves.
![Page 22: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
JJ Thomsonlate 1800s
• Measured the charge/mass ratio of an electron.
• Determined that an electron had a negative charge
• Could NOT determine the actual mass or charge of an electron.
• Plum pudding model of the atom
Negative ‘plums’
Positive Goop

Rutherford-Geiger-Marsden1911
• Gold foil scattering experiment– Fired positively charged alpha particles (2 protons and 2
neutrons) at a thin foil of gold.– Most alpha particles traveled straight through• Most of an atom is empty space
– One day, one scattered at a wide angle as if it hit something massive and dense.• Holds most of the mass of an atom• Must be positively charged
– This massive and dense thing was called the nucleus.– An atom’s diameter is MUCH larger than that of the
nucleus.
![Page 24: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rutherford Scattering Setup
Most particles go straight through. A few scatter and light up the screen at other angles.
![Page 25: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bohr (Orbital) Model• Electrons orbit around
a central nucleus– The electron orbitals
have definite (discrete) energy levels.
– Electrons can not exist between energy levels.• Similar to the fact that
you can not stand between rungs of a ladder.
![Page 26: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bohr (Orbital) Model• Ground states– Electrons want to fill the
lowest possible levels so that the atom stays stable.
• Excited states– Electrons can ‘jump’ up
energy levels only if the correct amount of energy is absorbed by the electron.
– This amount of energy is determined by the energy difference in the atom’s levels.
![Page 27: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cloud Model• The electrons do not exist in
definite orbits around the nucleus like suggested, they live in clouds where there is a high probability that they will be in a certain place. Other regens have a low probability.
![Page 28: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bohr: The Hydrogen Atom1. What is the energy of the n=3
energy level in the hydrogen atom?
a. What is this energy in Joules?
2. What is the energy difference between the n=1 and n=4 energy levels?
![Page 29: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hydrogen Absorption SpectrumWhen light is incident on a hydrogen atom, it can absorb
the photons with the correct amount of energy that allow the electrons in the atom to ‘jump’ to their excited states. An absorption spectrum is the rainbow of colors with the colors matching the correct energy jumps missing.
![Page 30: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. Pick one of the missing colors2. Determine a possible frequency of that color using
the RTs3. Calculate the energy a photon of that color4. Convert that photon’s energy into eVs.5. Using your RTs decide which energy level
transition could be caused by that photon.

Hydrogen Emission Spectrum
Once an electron has reached the excited state by absorbing the correct amount of energy. The electron will stay there for a moment then return back down to the ground state. When the electron falls back to the ground state, it emits a photon with an energy equal to the energy difference between the level it came from and the level it went to.
![Page 32: Is light a wave or is light a particle !?!. Experiment 1: Experiment: Light is incident on two closely spaced slits and the pattern is observed on a wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4e8a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hydrogen Emission Spectrum
1. Pick a different color than before.2. Determine a possible frequency of that color using
the RTs3. Calculate the energy a photon of that color4. Convert that photon’s energy into eVs.5. Using your RTs decide which energy level
transition could be caused by that photon.

I was doing some particle physics research and I discovered 7 new elements. I knew that each element was different because
_______________________________________.
I was able to draw diagrams of each element’s energy levels to scale, and I was able to name each element’s spectrum, but I was not able
to match the element’s energy level diagram to its corresponding spectrum.
Your goal is to use the scaled drawing to figure out the letter of that element based on the atomic spectra pictured.
a. Show all calculations in an organized manor including formulas and units.
b. Choose a fourth color for the spectrum and add the corresponding fourth energy level to the element’s diagram. (it must be drawn to
scale)

Antiparticles
• Antiparticles have the same mass as their particle ‘buddies’ just the opposite charge and quark make up.
• If a particle and an antiparticle collide, they annihilate each other and all the mass is converted into energy.1. What is the quark make up of an antiproton?
2. If a neutron and antineutron collide and annihilate each other, how much energy is released in Joules?

Creating Nuclear EnergyMass or energy can never be created or destroyed, only
converted from one to the other!
Units of Mass• Kilograms: for larger objects• AMU (atomic mass units) sometime just u for short: The
mass of very small things– Proton: 1.007u– Neutron: 1.009u
• To convert mass in kilograms to energy in Joules used E=mc2 • To convert mass in u into energy in eV use the conversion in
your Reference tables (1u=931MeV) **1MeV=1,000,000eV**

Creating Nuclear EnergyMass or energy can never be created or destroyed, only
converted from one to the other!
Fusion• Two smaller elements
(anything below iron) fuse together to create a larger element.
• This is favored by nature because this process releases energy.
Fission • One larger element
(anything above Iron) split apart to create two smaller elements.
• This is favored by nature because this process also releases energy

Fusion up Close• For light elements (up to Iron), fusing two elements together
creates a larger element and energy.• This energy comes from the ‘missing’ mass.– The larger element has a smaller mass then the total mass of the
parts that make it up. – The difference in mass is converted into released energy.
• This only happens in the sun and starts

Fission up Close• An incident neutron causes a large unstable
element to split into smaller elements.• When the element splits, some of the energy used
to hold the large nucleus is released.• This happens in nuclear reactors around the world.

IsotopesSame element (same number of protons)
Different masses (different numbers of neutrons)
- Can be separated by using a mass spectrometer

Mass Defect• The mass of the individual protons and neutrons that make up an
element is larger than the actual mass of the element. • This ‘mass defect’ is converted into the energy needed to hold the
nucleus together.
If the actual mass of the Lithium atom is 6.941u, -What is the mass defect in u-What is the binding energy in MeV?-What is the binding energy in Joules?

Knowledge Test
• How much energy would be released if an average high school student was vaporized into energy?
• A hydrogen bomb produces energy when a diatomic hydrogen element (2p) is split into two individual hydrogen atoms. A diatomic hydrogen nucleus has a mass of 2.009u and proton has a mass of 1.00794u. How much energy is produced when one single atom is split?– In MeV– In Joules
