Energy Levels and the de Broglie Relationship for High School Students
Gianino, Concetto
Physics Education, v43 n4 p429-432 Jul 2008
In this article, four examples of possible lessons on energy levels for high school are described: a particle in a box, a finite square well, the hydrogen atom and a harmonic oscillator. The energy levels are deduced through the use of the steady-state condition and the de Broglie relationship. In particular, the harmonic oscillator energy levels are deduced using correspondence with circular uniform motion. (Contains 3 figures.)
