Chemistry
A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space.
What is Electromagnetic Radiation?
The German physicist of the 1900s that thought the concept of quantized energy was revolutionary.
Who is Max Planck?
This spectrum on an element is the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of an element
What is the Atomic Emission Spectrum?
This is the wave's height from origin to a crest, or from the origin of a trough.
Also called the EM spectrum, it encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the inly differences in the types of radiation being their frequencies and wavelengths.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
What is wavelength?
What is Frequency?
DAILY DOUBLE
The equation used to calculate the energy of a photon.
Exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties
What is light?
This scientist proposed in 1905 that electromagnetic radiation has both wavelike and particlelike natures.
Who is Albert Einstein?
A particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy.
What is a photon?
The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.
What is a quantum?
These are the 4 characteristics that are properties of all waves.
What is speed, wavelength, frequency and amplitude?
Represented by the Greek letter lambda
What is Wavelength?
has a value of 6.626 x 10^-34 J
What is Plank's Constant?
Represented by the Greek letter nu
What is Frequency?
Electrons, called photoelectrons, are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines of the surface.
What is the photoelectric effect?
The symbol for the speed of light because it is such an important and universal value.
What is c?
The equation c - hv
What is the formula to calculate the Wavelength of an EM wave?
The lowest allowable energy state of an atom is called its?
What is ground state?
This phenomena can only be explained by the particle model.
What is the photoelectric effect?
Microwaves and X-Rays are examples of this type of radiation.
What is Electromagnetic Radiation?
This is the speed of all electromagnetic waves, including visible light, in a vacuum?
What is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s
