Wave Model of an Electron

Mr. Andersen explains the wave model of electrons, highlighting how they behave like waves rather than particles. This model helps understand electron energy levels and spectral lines. The concept of standing waves is introduced, showing how electrons interfere with themselves, leading to specific energy states. The video also draws parallels between electron behavior and musical harmonics, using the de Broglie wavelength to calculate electron properties and the size of atoms.
