Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
The postulates of quantum mechanics state that the state of a system is described by a wave function (ψ) containing
Dual Nature of Matter Davisson-Germer Experiment
The dual nature of matter means particles like electrons show both wave-like and particle-like behavior. This idea was confirmed by
Compton effect
The Compton effect explains how X-rays or high-energy photons scatter when they collide with electrons. After the collision, the photon
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to measure both the exact position and exact momentum of a particle
Wave Function & Born Interpretation
A wave function (ψ) in quantum mechanics describes the quantum state of a particle, including its position, momentum, and energy.
Schrödinger Wave Equation for 3D Particle in a Box
Explore the Schrödinger wave equation for 1D and 3D particles in a box, including quantized energy levels and wave functions.
Schrödinger Wave Equation for 1D Particle in a Box
For a particle confined in a one-dimensional box of length L with infinitely high walls, the potential inside the box
Photoelectric Effect
The photoelectric effect occurs when light of a certain minimum frequency strikes a metal surface and causes electrons to be
Hamiltonian Operator & Total Energy Concept
The Hamiltonian operator (Ĥ) in quantum mechanics represents the total energy of a system. It includes both kinetic and potential
