Introduction to the need and significance of quantum mechanics.
- Estimated study time: 45 minutes
Study resources
- The Compton Effect - Physics LibreTexts (OpenStax) (Article) — Full derivation of the Compton shift formula, one of the key experiments that showed classical physics needed to be replaced by quantum mechanics.
- Compton Effect - Engineering LibreTexts (Article) — A more compact writeup focusing on why the effect proves light cannot be purely a wave. Good for the 'need for quantum mechanics' part of the unit.
