Quantum Numbers
In classical physics, all orientations are possible
In quantum physics, only certain orientations are possible.
They are quantized
…with quantum number j
j = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …

Slide 23
The Photoelectric Effect
• Light striking the surface of certain metals causes
ejection of electrons
• Wave properties of light is unable to explain
some observations
• ν > νo
• ne- % I
• Ek % ν
threshold frequency
# of e- depends on intensity
kinetic energy depends on frequency

The Photoelectric Effect

Slide 25
The Photoelectric Effect
• At the stopping voltage the kinetic energy of
the ejected electron has been converted to
potential.

mu2 = e-Vs

• At frequencies greater than νo:
Vs = k (ν - νo)

Slide 26
The Photoelectric Effect
Ek = eVs
Eo = hνo
νo =
eVo
h
eVo, and therefore νo, are characteristic of the metal.
Conservation of energy requires that:
Ephoton = Ek + Ebinding
Ek = Ephoton - Ebinding

General Chemistry: Chapter 8
Slide 31
Great, but what do we really need to
know?
• Calculate the energy, frequency and wavelength for any
hydrogen atom transition
• Identify the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum
as being in the UV, visible or IR regions.
• You should be able to do Examples 8-1 to 8-4 (and the
practice examples)
General Chemistry: Chapter 8
Slide 32
8-5 Two Ideas Leading to a New
Quantum Mechanics
• Wave-Particle Duality.
– Einstein suggested particle-like properties of light
could explain the photoelectric effect.
– But diffraction patterns suggest photons are wavelike.
• de Broglie, 1924
– Small particles of matter may at times display
wavelike properties.

Sample Problems
1.
Some Diamonds appear yellow because they contain nitrogen compounds that
absorb purple light with a frequency of 7.23 x 1014 Hz. Calculate the
wavelength in nm of absorbed light.
2.
Calculate the E of one photon of UV (λ = 1 x 10-8 m), visible (λ = 5 x 10-7 m)
and IR (λ = 1 x 10-4 m) light. What do the answers indicate about the
relationship between λ and E?
3.
Calculate the Energy required to remove an electron from a hydrogen atom in
its ground state.
4.
Calculate the wavelength of the transition from n = 4 to n = 1 in Hydrogen (one
of the Lyman series of transitions).
5.
Calculate the de Broglie wavelengths of a 50 kg mass travelling at ¼ the speed
of light and for a proton (m = 1.673 x 10-27 kg) travelling at this speed. What do
these wavelengths say about the wave properties of matter in relation to their
size?

Wave Functions for Hydrogen
• Schrödinger, 1927
Eψ = Hψ
– H (x,y,z) or H (r,θ,φ)
ψ(r,θ,φ) = R(r) Y(θ,φ)
R(r) is the radial wave function.
Y(θ,φ) is the angular wave function.
