Module 10:  Quantum Physics

Objectives:

After completing this module you will be able to calculate the energy and momentum of the photons associated with an electromagnetic wave of a given frequency.  Students will be able to work problems using the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and calculate the deBroglie wavelength of free particles.  Students will understand that wave functions can encode information and students will be able to define incompatible observables.
