Quantum Mechanics

In this topic you will learn about quantum mechanics.  The basic idea behind quantum mechanics is the use of probabilities to know where very small objects, such as subatomic particles, will be located.  This idea comes from the wave nature of matter.

Essential Questions:

• What is the relationship between conducting metals, incident light, and the speed of ejected electrons?
• What constant value can be determined from a graph of work function and threshold frequency?
