Formulas for AOS2

[FlorianK]

What are the all the formulas for numerical questions we need to know for 'interactions of light and matter' and 'Matter - particles and waves'?

All the ones on on the formula sheet there.

Also note that the a few of the equations from the detailed studies are also handy e.g. , (well you can use the wave equation and E=hf to derive that last one).

You also have the ones like:



The qualitative formulas that describe the factors which will change the interference pattern seen was a very handy one that didn't appear on the formula sheet:



Calculating path difference, knowing what the patterns there look like. Unit conversions. Being able to interpret the formulas, especially the from a graphical perspective.

Extra formulas you can derive and rearrange directly from the ones on the formula sheet (usually just one or two steps difference) that are mentioned in the textbook. That's particularly in the case of calculating speed of an electron etc. where there's often a bit of algebra involved. You might have to remember that for the work done on an electron and that etc.

From memory, all those appear in the textbooks at some point or other.
