Today's Class

We had a spirited discussion of energy sources and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.

We then finished our discussion of the Photoelectric Effect, and then talked about the double-slit experiment for electrons. We will finish Chapter 13 next class and then begin Chapter 14.

We asked some questions in class. The button to the right links to the questions and responses.

We used this Flash animation when discussing doing the double-slit experiment for electrons with one electron at a time.
