  1. Introduction to the experiments of Physics 407

  2. Franck-Hertz Franck-Hertz experiment: confirmation of quantized atomic energy levels 1st evidence: Spectrum from a low-pressure mercury lamp

  3. Franck-Hertz Sketch of Franck-Hertz Apparatus Collecting plate is slightly negative compared to grid – so only those electrons above an energy threshold will reach it. Positively charged grid accelerates electrons + Heated cathode produces electrons Current from collector measured as a function of accelerating voltage. after Krane accelerating voltage

  4. Franck-Hertz Voltage between peaks corresponds to excitation energy 4.9 V

  5. Hall effect Hall effect with negative charge carriers + Fm = magnetic force on negative charge carriers Fe = electric force from charge buildup Direction of conventional Electric current http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu

  6. Hall effect Hall effect in semiconductors Dominated by positive carriers. Dominated by negative carriers.

  7. Johnson noise Cause: Thermal motion Johnson Noise  0 Vrms?? +

  8. Johnson noise Johnson Noise:way to measure Boltzmann’s constant JB Johnson, Physical Review 32 (1928) 97

  9. Brownian motion Nakroshis et al. AJP71(2003) 568 Brownian motion:more evidence for thermal motion Perrin’s Atoms

  10. Chaos State space of a dynamical system IDEAL FRICTION James P. Crutchfield, J. Doyne Farmer, Norman H. Packard, and Robert S. Shaw SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN DECEMBER, 1986 VOL. 254 NO. 12, 46-57.

  11. Chaos Chaos 10,000 red dots Chaotic behavior is characterized by divergence of nearby trajectories. Lyapunov exponent is a measure of this divergence.

  12. 2 slit interference, one photon Two-slit interference one photon at a time:grappling with wave/particle duality Single photon interference: “a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” - Richard Feynman http://www.blacklightpower.com/theory/DoubleSlit/
