This AP Physics 2 study guide covers quantum mechanics focusing on wave functions, probability density, and allowed electron energy states. It explains concepts like standing waves, spectral lines, and the de Broglie wavelength. The guide also reviews radioactive decay, half-life, and photon interactions (absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission). Finally, it provides practice questions covering these topics and offers exam tips.
