Planck's Experiment on the Law of Radiation (Planck's constant) Did Planck devise his own experiment to verify his hypotheses? Who where the experimentalist who confirmed his theories were right?	Video (14 min) https://archive.org/details/MaxPlanckAndQuantumPhysics video also talk about the photoelectric effect
Brownian Motion Experiments, designed by Einstein Work done by experimentalists for Einstein    see the precise instructions that Einstein gave to the experimentalist to accomplish the wanted workflow. One such experimentalist was the well known Jean Baptiste Perrin.	Read: Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness or Books on Google

Quantum Mechanics: Wave functions, Operators, and Expectation Values

n this quantum physics course you will learn the basics of quantum mechanics. We begin with de Broglie waves, the wave function, and its probability interpretation. We then introduce the Schrodinger equation, inner products, and Hermitian operators. We also study the time-evolution of wave-packets, Ehrenfest's theorem, and uncertainty relations.

SOLVED PROBLEMS:

Consider the traffic light (mass of 15.0 kg) suspended from two wires as shown in Figure 6.3. Find the tension in each wire, neglecting the masses of the wires. Read more...
Two tugboats push on a barge at different angles (Figure 6.4). The first tugboat exerts a force of 2.7×105N in the x-direction, and the second tugboat exerts a force of 3.6×105N in the y-direction. The mass of the barge is 5.0×106kg and its acceleration is observed to be 7.5×10−2m/s2 in the direction shown. What is the drag force of the water on the barge resisting the motion? (Note: Drag force is a frictional force exerted by fluids, such as air or water. The drag force opposes the motion of the object. Since the barge is flat bottomed, we can assume that the drag force is in the direction opposite of motion of the barge.) Read more...
Example 6.4 Figure 6.6 shows a block of mass m1 on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pulled by a light string that passes over a frictionless and massless pulley. The other end of the string is connected to a block of mass m2. Find the acceleration of the blocks and the tension in the string in terms of m1,m2,and g. Read the solution
