Outline and Purpose of the Course Students are first given an overview of physical phenomena that lead to the discovery of quantum mechanics. Following this, an introduction to quantum mechanics is given using concrete examples to provide a clear outline of various phenomena in the microscopic world, such as atoms and molecules, and the laws that are derived from them.
Course Goals Targets include understanding phenomena that cannot be described in classical physics, understanding various laws in the microscopic world that relate to atoms and molecules, and acquiring basic knowledge for quantum mechanics.
Schedule and Contents Atomic theories, 1 session: atomic theory of natural philosophy, atomic theory of chemistry, atoms and nuclei, structure of nuclei and elementary particles, current image of elementary particles
Kinetic theory of gases, 2 sessions: atomic theory of chemical reactions, basic assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases, pressure and temperature of gases, specific heat of matter, law of the distribution of energy, and velocity of molecules
Heat radiation and energy quantum, 2 sessions: properties of heat radiation, Stefan-Boltzmann law, Wien's displacement law, classical radiation formulas (Rayleigh-Jeans, Wien), Planck's radiation formula and energy quantum
Photons and electrons, 2 sessions: electrons and their particle properties, the discovery of electrons, beta particles, photons: light particulates, photoelectric effect, Compton effect
Atomic models and the quantum condition (old quantum theory), 1 session: theory on the structure of electrons and atoms, Thomson and Nagaoka’s atomic models, discovery of the atomic nucleus/Rutherford’s atomic model, Bohr's atomic model
Wave function and uncertainty principle (introduction to quantum mechanics), 1 session: fluctuation of electrons, de Broglie wave, double-slit experiment, interpretation of wave function
Schrodinger equation and its solution, 2 sessions: operator, expected value, time-independent Schrodinger equation, steady state, eigenvalue equation, square-well potential
Quantum mechanical description of a hydrogen atom, 3 sessions: spherical coordinate system, particle in a central potential, angular momentum operator, spherical harmonics, wave function, and energy level of a hydrogen atom
Confirmation of learning achieved, 1 session: the degree of learning achieved so far is confirmed
Evaluation Methods and Policy Students are evaluated through a test. A raw score is given as their evaluation.
Course Requirements Classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Students should read materials such as introductory books on topics covered in lectures to gain an understanding of how the study of physics has emerged throughout history.
