Quantum Theory Made Easy [1]
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 17 Ιουλ 2015
“Quantum
Theory Made Easy,” a series in which the concepts of quantum physics
are broken down for layaudiences in a more digestable manner. More
in-depth than most presentations for laypersons, but without the
mathematical rigour needed by a specialist in the field.
So, you've heard that light is a wave/particle. Now you get to find out how we know this!
In
this episode, we’ll be discussing the dual nature of light, starting
with a brief overview of how light was determined to be an
electromagnetic wave and what properties light was classically
associated with. From there, we’ll present the results of Planck’s
blackbody experiments and introduce the concept of quantization, which
was how this whole quantum mess was started in the first place. After
explaining how the quantum of action (h) works, we’ll move on to how it
showed up in experiments that challenged the wave picture of light, and
how Einstein, bremsstrahlung, and Compton, made it clear that light can
behave like a particle.
