X-rays used in medicine have very short wavelengths and high frequencies; UV (ultraviolet) light gives you sunburns and helps you make vitamin D, visible light is normal light, IR (infrared) is used for night-vision goggles, microwave is used in cooking, and radio is used in radios.

It differentiates between traveling waves, which propagate and transmit energy (like sound and electromagnetic waves), and stationary waves, which remain fixed at points (like on a guitar string). The classical wave equation describes these properties, and the behavior of waves is impacted by initial and boundary conditions.

As the worker climbs, potential energy builds, released upon descent. Bohr's model illustrates electrons around a nucleus at fixed energy levels, emitting energy when dropping to lower orbits. While it clarifies hydrogen emissions, it is less effective for other atoms. Bohr's work was pivotal in advancing atomic theory and influenced the emergence of quantum theory.

It links these "real waves" to the Schrödinger wavefunction relevant to quantum mechanics, particularly for the hydrogen atom. Key topics include the one-dimensional wave equation, separation of variables, harmonic solutions, and the Principle of Superposition in wave interactions, with exercises provided to reinforce these concepts.

It notes that early atomic models struggled to explain electron behavior, but advancements in the 20th century through light studies provided clarity. Light is presented as part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes a range from gamma rays to radio waves, with visible light spanning 400-700 nm and traveling at 3.
