What happens when you turn on the electric bunner on a stove?
Blackbody Radiation
Demonstration - light bulb filament Demonstration - idea blackbody
Origins of Quantum Theory How was the spectra measured?
Origins of Quantum Theory Here is what they knew at the turn of the century.
The total power radiated is
The wavelength for maximum radiation is inversely proportional to the temperature
The distribution of wavelengths depends
on the temperature only, not the material.

Origins of Quantum TheoryThe work function of metal A is 3.0 eV. Metals B and C have work functions of 4.0 eV and 5.0 eV, respectively. Ultraviolet light shines on all three metals, creating photoelectrons. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the stopping voltages for A, B, and C.
1. VA > VB > VC 2. VC > VB > VA 3. VA = VB = VC

Origins of Quantum Theory Classical Scattering of Electromagnetic Wave
So the radiation wavelength is the same as the incident wavelength.
We do not have to consider the magnetic field since it is so small compared to the electric field
Origins of Quantum Theory Compton Scattering
Answer the first three questions in the tutorial and draw the diagram for the scattering experiment.
Discuss the Compton experiment in your group. What are the two physical quantities in the collision?
What is the assumption for light that Compton used?
That light behaved like a particle with energy

Origins of Quantum Theory Compton Scattering What two equations (conservation law) did Compton use to
find the change in wavelength?
Draw the collision between the electron and the photon. Label the angles and .

Origins of Quantum Theory Use the results above and substitute into the conservation
equation.
Do the same for conservation of momentum in the x direction.
Now for momentum in the y direction.
Compton solved these three equations to find = - . Where is the initial wavelength for the photon and is the final wavelength for the photon.
