 519  \begin{itemize}
 520    \item $\Delta E = hf = {hc \over \lambda}$ between ground / excited state
 521    \item $E$ and $f$ of photon: $E_2 - E_1 = hf = {hc \over \lambda}$
 522    \item Ionisation energy - min $E$ required to remove e-
 523    \item EMR is absorbed/emitted when $E_{\operatorname{K-in}}=\Delta E_{\operatorname{shells}}$ (i.e. $\lambda = {hc \over \Delta E_{\operatorname{shells}}}$)
 524    \item No. of lines - include all possible states

 527  \subsection*{Uncertainty principle}
 528
 529  measuring location of an e- requires hitting it with a photon, but this causes $\rho$ to be transferred to electron, moving it.

 534  \begin{itemize}
 535    \item cannot explain photoelectric effect
 536    \item $f$ is irrelevant to photocurrent
 537    \item predicts delay between incidence and ejection
 538    \item speed depends on medium
 539    \item supported by bright spot in centre

 542  \subsubsection*{particle model}
 543
 544  \begin{itemize}
 545    \item explains photoelectric effect
 546    \item rate of photoelectron release $\propto$ intensity
 547    \item no time delay - one photon releases one electron
 548    \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
 549    \item light exerts force
 550    \item light bent by gravity
 551    \item quantised energy

 565  \[ \mathcal{E}(m) = {{\Delta(m)} \over m} \cdot 100 \]
 566  \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A) \cdot (B \pm \mathcal{E} B) = (A \cdot B) \pm (\mathcal{E} A + \mathcal{E} B) \]

 575  \textbf{Random errors} - unpredictable, reduced by more tests \\
 576  \textbf{Systematic errors} - not reduced by more tests \\
 577  \textbf{Uncertainty} - margin of potential error \\
 578  \textbf{Error} - actual difference \\
 579  \textbf{Hypothesis} - can be tested experimentally \\
