Wave Properties of Particle . Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond, 7th duc de Broglie (15 August 1892 – 19 March 1987) was a French who made ground breaking contributions to quantum theory. . In his 1924 PhD thesis (thesis advisor : ), he postulated the wave nature of and suggested that all matter has de Broglie wave properties. This concept is known as wave-particle duality or the de Broglie hypothesis.

Louis de Broglie (15 August 1892 – 19 March 1987) . For his wave properties of particle, de Broglie won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929 for the proposal that he put forward in 1924 and proven by experiment in 1927. . The wave-like behaviour of particles discovered by de Broglie was used by Erwin Schrödinger in his formulation of wave de Broglie .

Limit of Wave Properties of Particle . Example 1.6

. At macroscopic scale, we will not be able to see the wave nature of particles. . A 0.1 mm diameter water droplet moving at 1 mm/s will have a de Broglie wavelength of 10-25 m, which is tens of order of magnitude smaller than the size of a proton. . The smallness of Planck’s constant that makes the separation of wave and particle properties so striking in the classical domain.

Thomson Experiment . In 1897, Thomson showed that cathode rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle, and thus is credited with the discovery and identification of the electron. . J. J. Thomson was awarded the Physics Prize in 1906 for showing that electrons are particles.

Thomson Cathode Ray Experiment . Thomson’s method of measuring the ratio of the electron’s charge to mass was to send electrons through a region containing a magnetic field perpendicular to an electric field.

Thomson Cathode Ray Experiment . An electron moving through the electric field is accelerated by a force:

Fyy ma eE . Electron angle of deflection: v at eE tan( ) yy   t  2 vx v00m v v0 . Then turn on the magnetic field, which deflects the electron against the electric field force.

Ernst Rutherford (30 August 1871 – 19 October 1937) . Awarded the in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances, work that was done at McGill Univ., Canada. . Rutherford was born in New Zealand, where he studied at Canterbury College, University of New Zealand. . 1895 Rutherford was awarded a scholarship to travel to England for postgraduate study at the , . . He was among the first of the 'aliens' (those without a Cambridge degree) allowed to do research at the university, under the inspiring leadership of J. J. Thomson.

Ernst Rutherford (30 August 1871 – 19 October 1937) . In 1898 Thomson offered Rutherford the chance of a post at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. . In 1907 he moved to Victoria University of (today ) in the UK. . He is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton.

Bohr’s Postulate . In 1913, Bohr put forward 3 postulates that govern the atomic structure which can explained the spectral lines and bypass the stability problem. . These postulates are • An atomic system can only exist in a discrete set of stationary states, with discrete values of energy, and any change of the energy of the system, including emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation must take place by a complete transition between two stationary states. • The radiation absorbed or emitted during a transition between two

stationary states of energies E1 and E2 (E1 > E2) is characterized by a unique frequency given by

14 05/09/2014

Bohr’s Postulate • The stationary states corresponds to a set of allowed orbits in the Rutherford atomic model. They are determined by the requirement that the kinetic energy of the electron in the orbit is related to the frequency f of the of the electron in that orbit by

1 m v2  1 nhf 2 e 2 where n = 1, 2, 3, … For circular orbits this reduces to the statement that the angular momentum takes on integer values in units of h/2p, so that h v L  m vr  n  n  f  circular e 2p 2pr

Alexander A. Iskandar Emergence of Quantum Physics 29

Bohr’s Postulate . Alternatively, for a circular orbit, we can consider that the electron is a standing wave in an orbit around the proton. This standing wave will have nodes and be an integral number of wavelengths. h 2pr  n  n p . Thus, the angular momentum of the electron is nh L  rp   n 2p
