12.1 - Lesson 1 - The dual nature of photons and the photoelectric effect.
12.1 - Lesson 1 - The dual nature of photons and the photoelectric effect.
In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between the amount of energy carried by light and the ability of a material to eject electrons. The handout below should be completed as homework before the next lesson.
The simulation below gives a nice overview of the photoelectric effect.
12.1 Lesson 2 - The wave nature of matter.
12.1 Lesson 2 - The wave nature of matter.
Thanks to the excellent algebra skills of Louis de Broglie, we learn that not only does electromagnetic radiation behaves as both a particle and a wave, but...so does everything else!
12.1 Lesson 3 - Bohr Model and Wave Functions.
12.1 Lesson 3 - Bohr Model and Wave Functions.
We finally come to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and weird and wonderful world of quantum tunneling.

12.2 Lesson 1 - Rutherford Scattering and Nuclear Radii
Topic 12.2 is largely review of content covered earlier in the course, but there are a few new ideas here that you will definitely want to be aware of.
12.2 Lesson 2 - Energy levels, Neutrinos, and Radioactive Decay.
