The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

42.8K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Convolution: Math, Graphics, and Discrete Signals

349
In any LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system, the convolution of two signals is denoted using a convolution operator, assuming all initial conditions are zero. The convolution integral can be divided into two parts: the zero-input or natural response and the zero-state or forced response, with t0 indicating the initial time.
To simplify the convolution integral, it is assumed that both the input signal and impulse response are zero for negative time values. The graphical convolution process...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

3.2K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Parseval's Theorem01:18

Parseval's Theorem

609
Parseval's theorem is a fundamental concept in signal processing and harmonic analysis. It asserts that for a periodic function, the average power of the signal over one period equals the sum of the squared magnitudes of all its complex Fourier coefficients. This theorem, named after Marc-Antoine Parseval, provides a powerful tool for analyzing the energy distribution in signals.
Interestingly, Parseval's theorem also holds for the trigonometric form of the Fourier series, which...

Parseval's Theorem for Fourier transform

1.2K
Parseval's theorem is a fundamental principle in signal processing that enables the calculation of a signal's energy in either the time domain or the frequency domain. This theorem is pivotal in demonstrating energy conservation between these two domains, ensuring that the computed energy value remains consistent regardless of the domain of analysis.
To understand Parseval's theorem, it is essential to first comprehend how signal energy is typically calculated. When considering a...
