Slide 1If you want to know your progress so far, please send me an email request at [email protected] ReviewReminder (for those who don’t read syllabus)A photon (quantum of light) is reflected from a mirror. True or false: (a) Because a photon has a zero mass, it does not exert a force on the mirror. (b) Although the photon has energy, it cannot transfer any energy to the surface because it has zero mass. (c) The photon carries momentum, and when it reflects off the mirror, it undergoes a change in momentum and exerts a force on the mirror. (d) Although the photon carries momentum, its change in momentum is zero when it reflects from the mirror, so it cannot exert a force on the mirror.Problem: a lightbulbSlide 727.2 Photoelectric EffectPhotoelectric Effect SchematicPhotoelectric Current/Voltage GraphFeatures Not Explained by Classical Physics/Wave TheoryEinstein’s ExplanationExplanation of Classical “Problems”Verification of Einstein’s TheoryProblem: photoeffectSlide 1627.3 Application: Photocells27.4 X-RaysProduction of X-raysSlide 20Diffraction of X-rays by CrystalsSchematic for X-ray DiffractionPhoto of X-ray Diffraction PatternBragg’s LawSlide 251101/14/1901/14/19General Physics (PHY 2140)Lecture 28Lecture 28 Modern PhysicsQuantum PhysicsPhotoelectric effectChapter 27http://www.physics.wayne.edu/~apetrov/PHY2140/2201/14/1901/14/19If you want to know If you want to know your progressyour progress so far, please so far, please send me send me an email requestan email request at [email protected]@physics.wayne.edu3301/14/1901/14/19Lightning ReviewLightning ReviewLast lecture: 1.1.Quantum physicsQuantum physicsBlackbody radiationBlackbody radiationPlanck’s hypothesisPlanck’s hypothesisReview Problem: All objects radiate energy.

To test your preparedness, a simple five-minute quiz, testing your qualitative familiarity with the material to be discussed in class, will be given at the beginning of some of the classes. No make-up reading quizzes will be given.There could be one today… … but then again…5501/14/1901/14/19QUICK QUIZA photon (quantum of light) is reflected from a mirror.
