CHAPTER 37: RELATIVITY

S=inertial frame obs.

S= inertial frame (moving with
respect to S)

Lorentz Coordinate Transformations

y = y z = z

Lorentz Velocity Transformations

(Notes: v
x
= measured in S v
x
=velocity
measured in S u= actual velocity)
Doppler Effect

Relative Momentum

Relativistic Energy Equations

Total Energy, Rest Energy, &
Momentum

(Note: m in these equations is rest
mass)
CHAPTER 38: PHOTONS ELECTRONS
Energy of a photon

Photon momentum

Photoelectric Effect

Energy Emitted by Photon

Emitted Energy of Hydrogen

)
*BOHR MODEL*
Angular Momentum

(note: m is electron mass and e is electron
charge)

Stefan-Boltzmann law for a blackbody

Wien displacement Law

Planck Radiation Law

)

k=Boltzmann Const. T=absolute temp.
(Note: the e is actually base e NOT
electron charge)
CHAPTER 39: WAVENATURE OF PARTICLES

Three-dimensional Schrdinger Eq.

(Note: 3-D Schrdinger eq. same as 1-d
but with x,y,z)
