Quantum Mechanics¶
Electromagnetic Waves¶
- class chemlib.quantum_mechanics.Wave(**kwargs)¶
Makes a Wave object given either wavelength (in meters), frequency (in Hz), or energy (in J per photon), and calculates the aforementioned values.
- param kwargs
The value of the known variable (wavelength=, frequency=, or energy=)
Determine the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a wave with frequency 2e+17 Hz:
>>> from chemlib import Wave
>>> w = Wave(frequency=2e+17)
>>> w.properties
{'wavelength': 1.499e-09, 'frequency': 2e+17, 'energy': 1.325e-16}
Determine the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a wave with wavelength 3e-9 m:
>>> w = Wave(wavelength=3e-9)
>>> w.properties
{'wavelength': 3e-09, 'frequency': 9.993e+16, 'energy': 6.622e-17}
Determine the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a wave with energy 3e-15 Joules per particle:
>>> from chemlib import Wave
>>> w = Wave(energy=3e-15)
>>> w.properties
{'wavelength': 4.387e-44, 'frequency': 4.528e+18, 'energy': 3e-15}
Electrons and Orbitals¶
- chemlib.quantum_mechanics.energy_of_hydrogen_orbital(n) float¶
Gets the energy of an electron in the nth orbital of the Hydrogen atom in Joules.
>>> from chemlib import energy_of_hydrogen_orbital
>>> energy_of_hydrogen_orbital(3)
