Document Summary
Chapter 8 material from my lecture notes. Relationship between photon energy and frequency / wavelength. Equations for energies of a particle-in-a-box and of the hydrogen atom. We will describe atoms and molecules using wavefunctions, which we will give symbols like this: y. These wavefunctions contain all the information about the item we are trying to understand. Since they are waves, they will have wave properties: amplitude, frequency, wavelength, phase, etc. We obtain the energy by performing the energy operation on the wavefunction the result is a constant (the energy) times the wavefunction. This equation is called the schrodinger wave equation (swe) So h = ke operator + pe operator. The result of solving the schrodinger equation this way is that we can split the hydrogen wavefunction into two: The solutions have the same features we have seen already: = - 2. 178 x 10-18 z2 / n2 j [ n = 1,2,3 ]
