Topic 12 general Notes

Students find this topic both mathematically and conceptually intimidating. This is true for 12.1 in particular. Simulations are useful in helping the students understand 12.1.

Practical Ideas:
 - Using a UV lamp and a positively changed gold leaf electroscope to demonstrate the photoelectric effect (Can also be done with simulation)

- Using a simulation (PhET) to demonstrate cutoff frequencies and cutoff voltages

- Using a simulation (PhET) to demonstrate quantum tunneling
