Study Guide for Part IV

Ch. 8.2--8.5, Some parts of Ch. 9--  Central Forces &  Angular Momentum --- the Hydrogen Atom:

bulletYou have to know the difference between the approaches Bohr and Scrodinger used to deal with the hydrogen atom.
bulletHow do the results obtained by solving  the Scrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom compare eight that of the Bohr model?
bulletWhat are the four quantum numbers associated with the electron in the hydrogen atom?
bulletGiven a radial wave function of the from given in Table 8,4 (page 280) be able to determine at which r adius  the probability for finding the electron peaks (i.e. becomes a maximum).. see you notes for an example.
bulletBe able to write down the eigen values for the squares of L, j, S and L.S
bulletBe able to explain how NMR is used in chemistry and Medicine.( See page 470-472)

bulletBe able to calculate binding energy  ( see eq. 13.4 and example 13.3)
bulletBe able to calcul;ate energy released after fission or fusion using E = mc2
bulletBe able to use the semiemprical binding energy formual ( eq. 137)
bulletBe able to identify  what alpha, beta, and gamma rays are.

bulletBe able to distinguish between fission and fusion. List some applications of fission and fusion reactions.

Ch:  15 Elementary Particles:

bulletPrint and Study the  the Standard Model and Beyond article
bulletBe able to list the fundamental forces, know their relative strength, their range, and name the particles they exchange
bulletWhat are the dozen or so fundamental particles that the Standard Model is base on?  
bulletWhat do the abbreviations QED, QCD, GSW , SM etc.  stand for?
bulletStudy the Yukawa hypothesis (Section 15.3) it is a good model for demonstrating how forces are generated by exchanging bosons such as the photon in QED, the gluons in QCD, and the W and Z bosons in Weak Interactions.
bulletWhat is the Four -Fermi Interaction? How does it differ from the GSW model?
bulletBe able to define fermions, bosons, baryons, hadrons,leptons etc. Give examples for each
bulletBe able to state the main idea behind String Theory?
