Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

69.1K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Standing Waves in a Cavity

1.6K
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

Hyperbolas01:30

Hyperbolas

514
A hyperbola is a conic section produced when a double-napped cone is intersected by a plane at an angle steeper than the slope of the cone, such that it cuts through both nappes. This intersection yields two separate, mirror-image curves known as branches, which open away from each other along the transverse axis. The nearest points on each branch to the hyperbola’s center are termed vertices, and the distance from the center to a vertex is denoted by a. Perpendicular to the transverse...
