 166
 167    $\therefore \, t$ must dilate as speed changes

 537  \begin{itemize}
 538    \item $\Delta E = hf = {hc \over \lambda}$ between ground / excited state

 545  \subsection*{Uncertainty principle}
 546
 547  measuring location of an e- requires hitting it with a photon, but this causes $\rho$ to be transferred to electron, moving it.

 551  \subsubsection*{wave model}
 552  \begin{itemize}
 553    \item cannot explain photoelectric effect
 554    \item $f$ is irrelevant to photocurrent
 555    \item predicts delay between incidence and ejection
 556    \item speed depends on medium

 561
 562  \begin{itemize}
 563    \item explains photoelectric effect
 564    \item rate of photoelectron release $\propto$ intensity
 565    \item no time delay - one photon releases one electron
 566    \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
 567    \item light exerts force
 568    \item light bent by gravity
