Quantum Physics

Planck's quantum hypothesis is that a cavity mode of frequency ν can hold energy only in whole steps of hν, so at temperature T its mean energy is hν/(e^(hν/kT) − 1) rather than the classical kT. Use the supplied topic model Y_out = (nu/(0.0208366*tk))/(exp((nu/(0.0208366*tk)))-1), where Y_out is ⟨E⟩ PER MODE ÷ kT (dimensionless). The output symbol Y_out is distinct from all input symbols. ^ denotes a power; π = 3.141592653589793; exp(x) means eˣ. nu is Marker frequency ν, measured in THz. Keep tk (Cavity temperature T) = 5800 K fixed. For this exercise use only 115.188 THz ≤ nu ≤ 894.812 THz on this continuous branch. A grid of test settings is an input restriction for this exercise, not by itself a claim of physical quantisation. This calculation retains the topic model's stated assumptions; it does not extend them to a different physical setup. A reading gives Y_out = 0.037109965, with a bounded reading uncertainty ±0.00489. Treat the model and all fixed inputs as exact for this exercise; the bound is not a standard deviation. First estimate the unknown nu by straight-line interpolation between the two endpoint predictions. Then solve the actual model on the stated branch to an absolute input tolerance of 0.0779625 THz, using a numerical bracket if required. Find the full input interval consistent with the bounded reading uncertainty and compare it with a symmetric input-error assumption. Do not assume that the supplied calibration points prove monotonicity outside this branch.

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a surface by light, in which each electron absorbs a single photon and leaves with at most K_max = hf − φ, however intense the light. Use the supplied topic model Y_out = 1239.84/phi, where Y_out is THRESHOLD λ₀ = hc/φ (nm).

Compton scattering is the collision of a photon with a free electron in which part of the photon's momentum h/λ and energy hc/λ passes to the electron, so the photon leaves at angle θ with a wavelength longer by (h/mₑc)(1 − cos θ). Use the supplied topic model Y_out = 1239.84/ek+2.4263*(1-cosd(theta)), where Y_out is SCATTERED λ′ (pm).

A matter wave is the wave associated with any particle of momentum p, with de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p; it diffracts from a periodic structure exactly as light does, and visibly so only when λ is comparable to the structure's spacing.
