1.1 Flashcards
1
Q
Electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency
A
RMIVUXG
2
Q
Electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing wavelength
A
GXUVIMR
3
Q
Electromagnetic spectrum or whatever it’s called
A
Radio, Microwave, Infrared, UV, X-Ray, Gamma
4
Q
Finding energy using wavelength
A
Energy is in kj. So wavelength (nm) is x10 to power of -9. Answer x10 to power of -3 (milli to 1)
5
Q
how are lines on a spectrum formed?
A
An electron is promoted to a higher energy level. When the excited electron drops back to a lower level, energy is given off to a corresponding wavelength. DO NOT MENTION ABSORBING LIGHT.
