Mon-Day 2
Physics- began our final new unit: Modern Physics.
In this unit, we qualitatively and quantitatively discuss and show the particle nature of light, as well as the wave nature of matter- two unintuitive aspects of these phenomena.
We reviewed the evidence for the wave nature of light, and then introduced Einstein's Photoelectric Effect experiment in which the PARTICLE nature of light is inferred.
AP Chem - did a Hess's Law problem, and then discussed the other factor that determines the spontaneity of a reaction: entropy.
