Lecture 1. Birth of Quantum Mechanics.Historical Background of QM. Experiments, Theories & Student Presentation • Engel, Ch. 1 • Ratner & Schatz, Ch. 1 • Quantum chemistry, D. A. McQuarrie (1983), Ch. 1 • Molecular quantum mechanics, Atkins & Friedman (4th ed. 2005), Ch. 0 • Introductory quantum mechanics, R. L. Liboff (4th ed, 2004), Ch. 2 Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination. - Max Planck -

1900 – Max Planck: Quantum theory of blackbody radiation • What is a blackbody radiation? • Any example in real life? • What is a classical theory for it? • What is “UV catastrophe”? • What is Planck’s assumption? • How did it resolve the dilemma? Team 1 : Seongyu - Jonghoon Team 2 : Najib - Jisu
1886 – Heinrich Hertz: Photoelectric effect experiment 1897 – J. J. (Joseph John) Thomson: Discovery of electrons 1905 – Albert Einstein: Quantum theory of photoelectric effect 1910 – Ernest Rutherford – a-particle scattering experiment 1923 – A. H. Compton: Photon-electron scattering experiment • What is a photoelectric effect? • How was an electron found? • What was the dilemma in the photoelectric effect? • What is Einstein’s assumption? • How did it resolve the dilemma? • Any application of the photoelectric effect in real life? • How did Compton prove Einstein’s theory?
