Presentation – Chris Ross
Chris’ presentation this week was on the topic of quantum mechanics and focused on the uncertainty principle and the photoelectric effect, both very important aspects of quantum theory.
As Chris explained, the uncertainty principle puts a limit on the precision with which we can know the momentum and position of a particle simultaneously whereas the photoelectric effect explains why electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when light of the right frequency is shone on it. Callum gave an excellent presentation, despite the challenging nature of the subject matter; you can download his presentation as a PDF file at the end on the page.
