Radiation is

emitted when a solid after receiving energy goes back to the most stable state (ground state). The energy associated with the radiation is the difference in energy between these 2 states. When T increases, the average E*Mean is higher and intensity increases.

Young's Double Slit

Experiment

In physics and chemistry, wave–particle duality is the concept that all matter and energy exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. A central concept of quantum mechanics, duality, addresses the inadequacy of classical concepts like "particle" and "wave" in fully describing the behavior of small-scale objects. Various interpretations of quantum mechanics attempt to explain this apparent paradox.

This is a typical experiment showing the wave

nature of light and interferences.
What happens when we decrease the light intensity ?
If radiation = particles, individual photons reach one spot and there will be no interferences
If radiation ≠ particles there will be no spots on the screen
The result is ambiguous
There are spots
The superposition of all the impacts make interferences

Young's Double Slit Experiment

There is no possibility of knowing through which

split the photon went!
If we measure the crossing through F1, we have to place a screen behind.
Then it does not go to the final screen.
We know that it goes through F1 but we do not know where it would go after.
These two questions are not compatible

A New mathematical tool:
Wave functions and Operators

Each particle may

be described by a wave function Ψ(x,y,z,t), real or complex,
having a single value when position (x,y,z) and time (t) are defined.
If it is not time-dependent, it is called stationary.
The expression Ψ=Aei(pr-Et) does not represent one molecule but a flow of particles: a plane wave
Слайд 38

Wave functions describing one particle To represent a single particle Ψ(x,y,z)

Wave functions describing one particle

To represent a single particle Ψ(x,y,z) that

does not evolve in time, Ψ(x,y,z) must be finite (0 at ∞).
In QM, a particle is not localized but has a probability to be in a given volume:
dP= Ψ* Ψ dV is the probability of finding the particle in the volume dV.
Around one point in space, the density of probability is dP/dV= Ψ* Ψ
Ψ has the dimension of L-1/3
Integration in the whole space should give one
Ψ is said to be normalized.
Слайд 39

Operators associated to physical quantities

We cannot use functions (otherwise we would

end with classical mechanics)
Any physical quantity is associated with an operator. An operator O is “the recipe to transform Ψ into Ψ’ ”
We write: O Ψ = Ψ’
If O Ψ = oΨ (o is a number, meaning that O does not modify Ψ, just a scaling factor), we say that Ψ is an eigenfunction of O and o is the eigenvalue. We have solved the wave equation O Ψ = oΨ by finding simultaneously Ψ and o that satisfy the equation.
o is the measure of O for the particle in the state described by Ψ.

It is not surprising to find that quantum mechanics does not

predict the position of an electron exactly. Rather, it provides only a probability as to where the electron will be found.
We shall illustrate the probability aspect in terms of the system of an electron confined to motion along a line of length L. Quantum mechanical probabilities are expressed in terms of a distribution function.
For a plane wave, p is defined and the position is not.
With a superposition of plane waves, we introduce an uncertainty on p and we localize. Since, the sum of 2 wavefucntions is neither an eigenfunction for p nor x, we have average values.
With a Gaussian function, the localization below is 1/2π
