Photons and Matter Waves (Physics)
Recall cards on the birth of quantum physics. Blackbody radiation, the Stefan-Boltzmann law P = sigma*A*T^4, Wien's displacement law, the ultraviolet catastrophe, and Planck's quantization E_n = n*h*f. The photoelectric effect and Einstein's photon explanation, the photoelectric equation K_max = h*f - phi, the work function, and the cutoff frequency. The Compton effect and the photon momentum p = h/lambda. Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, the Rydberg formula, quantized angular momentum, the Bohr radius, and the energy levels E_n = -13.6 eV/n^2. De Broglie's matter waves lambda = h/p and the Davisson-Germer experiment. Wave-particle duality and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle Delta x * Delta p >= h-bar/2.
