7.1 Energy quantization
-Feature of classical physics•Precisely specified motion and momenta at an instant•Continuous vibrational, rotational, and translation modes of motion and enenrgy
-Failure of classical physics•black body radiation & the Planck distribution•Heat capacities•Atomic and molecular spectra
classical physics doesn’t hold for a small world

based on classical mechanics(all oscillators share equally in the energy)
Stefan-Boltzmann and Wien law is successfully derived from Planck distribution!!!

(e) Superpositions and expectation values
Ex. if ψ A cos kx
When the wavefunction of a particle is not an eigen function of an operator, the property to which the operator corresponds does not have a definite value.
not an eigenfunction any more!!!
Linear combination!

1. When the momentum is measured, one of the eigenvalue will be measured
2. Measuring an eigenvalue ~ Proportional to the square of the modulus in the linear combinations
3. Average value = Expectation value

In Quantum Mechanics, Position and momentum cannot be predicted simultaneously
•Heisenberg uncertainty principle
ikxAe
xp k
Ex. Particle travelling to the right -> position is unpredictableBut, the momentum is definite
But, in Classical Mechanics,Position and momentum can be predicted simultaneously

Wave function for a particle at a well-defined location
An infinite number of waves is needed to construct the wavefunction of perfectly localized partile.
