Planck proposed the ad hoc assumption that the radiant energy could exist only in discrete quanta which were proportional to the frequency. This would imply that higher modes would be less populated and avoid the uv catastrophe of the Rayleighs law.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!

Thread 'Visual depiction of atomic orbitals'

The wavefunction of an atomic orbital like ##p_x##-orbital is generally in the form ##f(\theta)e^{i\phi}## so the probability of the presence of particle is identical at all the directional angles ##\phi##. However, it is dumbbell-shape along the x direction which shows ##\phi##-dependence!
