Wednes-Day 1
Physics - we did a Compton Effect review problem, and then we discussed the wave nature of matter as discovered by de Broglie (the wave interference pattern of electrons was observed).
We then discussed the momentum of photons, a consequence of the particle nature of light.
We then calculated the energy of a photon emitted for a given electron transition from a higher level of energy to a lower level of energy; we calculated the energy of a photon absorbed by an electron causing the electron to go to (have) a higher level of energy.
AP Chem - we did some of the questions from the 2010B AP Chem exam during which we discussed test psychology, organic chemistry, and some electrochemistry.
