Light as a Particle: Photoelectric Effect The discovery of the temperature dependence of the spectrum of an incandescent light source and the discovery of the photoelectric effect led to the characterization of the particle-like properties of light. Here we demonstrate these two phenomena.
An incomplete concept map is shown below, which set of terms for A, B, C and D would result in a correct map based on the concept of wave mechanics applied to a hydrogen atom?
Examining Quantum Oddities within the Context of Other Major Scientific TheoriesPablo A. Molina This article presents an epistemological discussion on the conceptual hurdles shared by quantum theory and evolution, gravity, and special relativity, and offers students a logical structure to deal with waveparticle duality, the uncertainty principle, boundary conditions, and the quantization of energy. Molina, Pablo A. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1229.
John Krenos Metiu has created a significant set of volumes on undergraduate physical chemistry. The integration of Mathematica and Mathcad workbooks into the four texts provides instructors with an attractive new option in teaching. Krenos, John. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 206.

E = mc2: An Intuitive DerivationJames J. Leary and William H. Ingham Einstein's famous equation E = mc2 is derived using a thought experiment that can easily be understood by any serious student of chemistry. Leary, James J.; Ingham, William H. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1651.
Photoelectric EffectWilliam F. Coleman This is a series of simulations of aspects of the photoelectric effect. There is an animation of the experiment with four choices of incident radiation - low and high intensity "red", to represent low energy light and low and high intensity "blue" to represent higher energy light. Electron production is animated and there is an ammeter to simulate current flow. Additional simulations show the effect of light frequency and intensity. There is a link to a spreadsheet that allows students to choose a sample from among five metals. The spreadsheet includes several questions to be answered after working through the materials.
