Time Dilation Example
• Muons are essentially heavy electrons (~200 times heavier)• Muons are typically generated in collisions of cosmic rays in upper
atmosphere and, unlike electrons, decay ( sec)• For a muon incident on Earth with v=0.998c, an observer on Earth would
see what lifetime of the muon?• 2.2 sec?
• t=35 sec • Moving clocks run slow so when an outside observer measures, they see a
longer time than the muon itself sees.

More about Muons• They are typically produced in atmosphere about 6 km above surface of Earth and
frequently have velocities that are a substantial fraction of speed of light, v=.998 c for example
• How do they reach the Earth?• We see the muon moving so t=35 sec not 2.2 sec , so they can travel 16 time
further, or about 10 km, so they easily reach the ground• But riding on a muon, the trip takes only 2.2 sec, so how do they reach the
ground???• Muon-rider sees the ground moving, so the length contracts and is only

0.7c in the direction of his motion. What speed does the observer see?

Properties of Photoelectric Effect• Existence of photoelectric effect was not a surprise, but the details were
surprising1) Very little time (nanoseconds) between arrival of light pulse and emission
of electron2) Electron energy independent of intensity of light3) At higher frequency get higher energy electrons
Minimum frequency (0) required for photoelectric effect depends on material:

3313 Andrew Brandt 8
Einstein Explains P.E. Effect• Einstein 1905 (I had a good year) explained P.E. effect: energy of light not
distributed evenly over classical wave but in discrete regions called quanta and later photons (draw)
1) EM wave concentrated in photon so no time delay between incident photon and p.e. emission
2) All photons of same frequency have same energy E=h, so changing intensity changes number (I=Nh, where N is rate/area) but not energy
3) Higher frequency gives higher energy
• Electrons have maximum KE when all energy of photon given to electron.• is work function or minimum energy required to liberate electron from
material ( =h 0 )

• b) If p.e.’s are produced by light with a wavelength of 250 nm, what is stopping potential?
• =4.96-4.5 =0.46 eV (is this the answer?)• NO! it is V0=0.46V (not eV)

De Broglie• Tiger example• He hits a 46 g golf ball with a velocity of 30 m/s (swoosh) .• Find the ; what do you expect?•
• The wavelength is so small relevant to the dimensions of the golf ball that it has no wave like properties
• What about an electron with ?• This large velocity is still not relativistic so
• Now, the radius of a hydrogen atom (proton + electron) is • Thus, the wave character of the electron is the key to understanding atomic
structure and behavior2/16/2009 3313 Andrew Brandt 11

Particle in a Box Still• General expression for non-rel Kinetic Energy:• With no potential energy in this model, and applying constraint on wavelength gives:
• Each permitted E is an energy level, and n is the quantum number• General Conclusions: 1) Trapped particle cannot have arbitrary energy like a free particle—only
specific energies allowed depending on mass and size of box2) Zero energy not allowed! v=0 implies infinite wavelength, which means particle is not trapped
3) h is very small so quantization only noticeable when m and L are also very small

Uncertainty Principlea) For a narrow wave group the position is
accurately measured, but wavelength and thus momentum cannot be precisely determined
b) Conversely for extended wave group it is easy to measure wavelength, but position uncertainty is large
• Werner Heisenberg 1927, it is impossible to know exact momentum and position of an object at the same time

Rutherford Scattering
• The actual result was very different—although most events had small angle scattering, many wide angle scatters were observed
• “It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15 inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back at you”
• Implied the existence of the nucleus. • We perform similar experiments at Fermilab
and CERN to look for fundamental structure

Expectation Values• Complicated QM way of saying average• After solving Schrodinger Eq. for particle under particular condition contains all info on a particle permitted by uncertainty principle in the
form of probabilities. • This is simply the value of x weighted by its probabilities and summed
over all possible values of x, we generally write this as
