Quanta to Quarks

The text discusses various concepts related to atomic and subatomic particles, focusing on the structure and behavior of atoms, particularly through the Bohr model. It explains how electrons orbit the nucleus in specific paths without radiating or decaying, and how they can jump between these orbits by emitting or absorbing photons.

Bohr model

1. e- orbit + nucleus in 1/r^2 potential like planets.

a. circular orbits

b. does not radiate or decay

2. Electrons jump between orbits with photons E=hf

a. jump to closer orbit emit photon

b. jump to distant orbit absorb photon

(jump = disappear and rematterialize)

3. Orbits are restricted to l =nh/2p n = 1,2,3.....

(l is angular momentum = speed*mass * radius)

Summary of laws

Hydrogen lines

Explanation

HSC : 1/wavelength =R (1/n1^2-1/n2^2)

E(eV) = 13.6(1/n1^2- 1/n2^2)

wavelength = 91.15

(1/n1^2-1/n2^2)

= 91.15xn1^2xn2^2 / (n2^2-n1^2)
