Apply Einstein's photon model to explain threshold frequency, work function, and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons.

Explore de Broglie wavelength, electron diffraction, and the double-slit experiment as evidence for the wave nature of matter.

Calculate energy levels, transition energies, and spectral wavelengths for hydrogen using the Bohr model.

Understand the fundamental limits on simultaneous knowledge of position-momentum and energy-time pairs.

Classify alpha, beta, and gamma decay, apply conservation laws, and calculate half-life problems.

Connect quantum concepts to lasers, semiconductors, medical imaging, nuclear energy, and spectroscopic analysis.
