The last lab
Our last lab will be the measurement of atomic light emission spectra. It will prove that, although the Bohr model of the atom is provably wrong, and a bit silly at times, there is some truth contained in it.
More to the point: it is better than anything classical we've come up with, so its a good start. That there are more sophisticated models doesn't change the fact that our simple model works for a few things, and nicely at that.
I will be at the lab starting about 3:30 or 3:40, at which time I will probably have a few additional hints about the final.
