Particles
Goals
To study particles as waves, de Broglie waves
To consider particles as waves with electron
diffraction and electron microscopy
To state and explain the difficult conceptual
concept of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
To study the general tool for description of a
systemwave functions
To consider the wide-ranging coverage and
implications of the wave description for an
electron in chemical systems, the Schrdinger
equation
Introduction
De Broglie waves
Electrons flowing through a slit will form interference patterns like those shown in
the Figure.
Two-slit interference
The predicted maximum grows in as the quantity of measurements
increases.
Electron microscopy
