amplitude and intensity
Does anyone know if we will be tested on amplitude and intensity on Test 2? Its in section 1.2
thank you :)
thank you :)

Re: amplitude and intensity
I believe the test will cover up to section 1.5, if I'm not mistaken. Basically, all of the quantum material we've learned up until DeBroglie's Equation.

Re: amplitude and intensity
Yes, I believe it will be covered because it will most likely be mentioned in a problem, but not specifically tested!

Re: amplitude and intensity
Also I think it's important to note that if any question says that "brightness" is increased or decreased, they are talking about the amplitude of a given wavelength, not the frequency. Just so you know how it might be applied in the test.

Re: amplitude and intensity
I could see it being mentioned on the test because I believe it was discussed in class.

Re: amplitude and intensity
I agree it's fair game for the test. If you find yourself looking for a study source about the subject, pages 146-151 in the pdf version of the textbook were pretty helpful to me

Re: amplitude and intensity
It is important to just keep in mind that increasing the intensity of light does not cause electrons to be ejected

Re: amplitude and intensity
Yes I believe we will be tested on that and everything else up until De Broglie's equation.

Yes, it does. Intensity/brightness of the radiation is determined by the square of the amplitude.
