    Dual Nature of Elements

    Uploaded by

    Tarnate Tacay
    This document discusses the dual nature of electrons as both particles and waves. It describes key experiments and findings that helped establish this dual nature, including De Broglie's proposal that particles exhibit wave-like behavior and Davisson and Germer's experiment scattering electrons off nickel surfaces which supported the wave model of electrons. The document also provides definitions and descriptions of particles, waves, and wave interference effects which help explain the dual nature of electrons.

    REVIEW

    Electromagnetic radiation may be


    visible or invisible depending on their
    wavelength. The human eye can
    detect the light spectrum ranging
    from 400 nanometers (violet) to about
    700 nanometers (red). Outside this
    wavelength range, light is invisible.
    REVIEW
    REFLECTION is the bouncing
    off of light as it strikes a
    surface.

    REFRACTION is the bending


    of light as it passes from one
    REVIEW
    The INTERFERENCE of light is
    the phenomenon of multiple light
    waves interacting with one another
    under certain circumstances,
    causing the combined amplitudes
    of the waves to either increase or
    decrease.
    REVIEW
    DIFFRACTION of light is
    defined as the bending of
    light around corners such
    that it spreads out and
    illuminates areas where a
    shadow is expected.
    REVIEW
    Polarization, in Physics, is
    defined as a phenomenon
    caused due to the wave
    nature of electromagnetic
    radiation.
    REVIEW
    Christian Huygens proposed
    the Wave Theory of Light in
    1678 in which light is made
    up of waves.
    REVIEW
    Thomas Young studied the
    interference of light waves
    using the double-slit
    experiment in 1803.
    REVIEW
    Albert Einstein proposed
    light is composed of tiny
    particles called photons.
    REVIEW
    Since red light has the least
    frequency in the color spectrum of
    light, it also has the least amount of
    energy and can therefore be used in
    photographic dark rooms because
    it would have the least effect on a
    very sensitive paper film.
    REVIEW
    Given that ultraviolet has a higher
    frequency than the visible light, it
    follows that it would also have
    greater energy, which causes us to
    get easily sunburned under the UV
    light compared to visible light.
    DUAL
    NATURE
    OF
    ELECTRONS
    PARTICLE
    A minute portion of matter and
    the smallest known building
    blocks of the universe.
    A small finite object that you can
    hold in your hand.
    Have momentum and their
    positions can be identified.
    GEORGE JOHNSTONE
    STONEY
    Coined the term electron as
    an electric charge quantity
    in 1894.
    JOSEPH JOHN THOMSON
    Identified electron as a
    particle using cathode ray
    tubes.
    RUTHERFORD’S ATOMIC
    MODEL
    ELECTRON is a
    negatively-
    charged
    subatomic
    particle and has
    no known
    Electrons are
    Particle.
    Is it a wave?
    WAVE
    A disturbance that travels
    through space-time and medium
    by transferring energy from one
    place to another.
    The wave medium transports the
    wave from its source to other
    locations.
    WAVE
    CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
    When waves meet from crests to
    crests and trough to trough, then
    the displacement is reinforced.
    CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
    DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
    When waves meet from crests to
    troughs, then the displacement is
    cancelled.
    DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
    LOUIS DE BROGLIE
    Italian physicist who postulated
    that if light waves also exhibit
    particle behavior, then a particle
    should also exhibit wavelike
    behavior.
    LOUIS DE BROGLIE
    He also theorized that the
    wavelength of a particle is related
    to Planck’s constant and inversely
    proportional to its momentum.
    DE BROGLIE
    WAVELEGNTH
    Where:
    = de Broglie’s wavelength of a particle
    h = Planck’s constant (
    m = mass
    v = velocity
    CLINTON DAVISSON AND
    LESTER GERMER
    American physicist who tested
    that scattered electrons will
    appear from all directions with
    little dependence on their
    intensity, scattering angle, and
    energy of the primary beam.
