Tested Demonstrations
Inexpensive Exemplars for the Wave Model of Electronic Structure and Light
Ed Vitz, Robert Binning, and James W. Long
Department of Physical Sciences, Kutztown University, Kutztown, PA 19530

February 1996
Vol. 73 No. 2
p. 171
Abstract
The classic wave model can be used to understand the behavior of electrons constrained to the vicinity of a nucleus. Because light and color arise only because of these localized electrons, it is not surprising that a wave model is also useful in describing light. Models (in general) make an unobservable entity or event intelligible by relating it to an observable, well-understood object or phenomenon. In this article inexpensive examples of the wave model are described.
