End of term, Fall 2016

The wavefunctions of the hydrogen atom are the foundation upon which atomic, molecular, and chemical physics are built. The image above shows the radial and angular dependence for n=30, l=20, m=10. There are many helpful tools available for visualizing hydrogen orbitals. Have a look here.


Announcements:

  • Final course letter grades are at the bottom of the D2L grade page. (Please contact me ASAP if you think a clerical error of some sort has been made. )
  • Course total numerical grades (are the 2nd bottom line on the D2L grade page). This differs from the D2L number at the TOP of the page, because it includes clicker points. (I also dropped one worst numbered sub-part on the final for everyone as a small boost. This is not included in your D2L final exam score, which is your raw/true score - it just goes into my calculation of your total course score.)
  • Exams are graded, your score is on D2L. See also exams link. Class median final exam score was 74% (just a few points below midterm #2) If you want to see your final exam (or solutions), contact Prof. P!
  • Thanks for a grade semester! Have a good break, and enjoy Quantum 2 next semester if you take it!
