 491    \item $E$ and $f$ of photon: $E_2 - E_1 = hf = {hc \over \lambda}$
 492    \item Ionisation energy - min $E$ required to remove e-
 493    \item EMR is absorbed/emitted when $E_{\operatorname{K-in}}=\Delta E_{\operatorname{shells}}$ (i.e. $\lambda = {hc \over \Delta E_{\operatorname{shells}}}$)
 494    \item No. of lines - include all possible states
 495  \end{itemize}

 497  \subsection*{Uncertainty principle}
 498
 499  measuring location of an e- requires hitting it with a photon, but this causes $\rho$ to be transferred to electron, moving it.

 503  \subsubsection*{wave model}
 504  \begin{itemize}
 505    \item cannot explain photoelectric effect
 506    \item $f$ is irrelevant to photocurrent
 507    \item predicts delay between incidence and ejection
 508    \item speed depends on medium
 509  \end{itemize}

 511  \subsubsection*{particle model}
 512
 513  \begin{itemize}
 514    \item explains photoelectric effect
 515    \item rate of photoelectron release $\propto$ intensity
 516    \item no time delay - one photon releases one electron
 517    \item double slit: photons interact. interference pattern still appears when a dim light source is used so that only one photon can pass at a time
 518    \item light exerts force
 519    \item light bent by gravity
 520    \item quantised energy

 526  \textbf{Absolute uncertainty} $\Delta$ \\
 527  (same units as quantity)
 528  \[ \Delta(m) = {{\mathcal{E}(m)} \over 100} \cdot m \]
 529  \[ (A \pm \Delta A) + (B \pm \Delta A) = (A+B) \pm (\Delta A + \Delta B) \]
 530  \[ (A \pm \Delta A) - (B \pm \Delta A) = (A-B) \pm (\Delta A + \Delta B) \]
 531  \[ c(A \pm \Delta A) = cA \pm c \Delta A \]
 532
 533  \textbf{Relative uncertainty} $\mathcal{E}$ (unitless)
 534  \[ \mathcal{E}(m) = {{\Delta(m)} \over m} \cdot 100 \]
 535  \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A) \cdot (B \pm \mathcal{E} B) = (A \cdot B) \pm (\mathcal{E} A + \mathcal{E} B) \]
 536  \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A) \div (B \pm \mathcal{E} B) = (A \div B) \pm (\mathcal{E} A + \mathcal{E} B) \]
 537  \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A)^n = (A^n \pm n \mathcal{E} A) \]
 538  \[ c(A \pm \mathcal{E} A)=cA \pm \mathcal{E} A \]

 540  Uncertainty of a measurement is $1 \over 2$ the smallest division
 541
 542  \textbf{Precision} - concordance of values \\
 543  \textbf{Accuracy} - closeness to actual value\\
 544  \textbf{Random errors} - unpredictable, reduced by more tests \\
 545  \textbf{Systematic errors} - not reduced by more tests
