12: Radiation And Matter Flashcards
Equation for frequency and wavelength
C=f lambda
What are the different regions of electromagnetic spectrum
RICH MEN IN VEGAS USE EXPENSIVE GADGETS
radio micro infrared visible light ultraviolet X-rays gammas rays
10^3. 400-700nm. 10^-12
Link energy to frequency
E=hf using plancks constant
What is the equation for the Doppler effect
Change In wavelength/ og wavelength= v/c
Explain the Doppler effect?
Graph shows as objects get further away there velocity increases, this shows as an objects receeds its wavelength is stretched towards the red side of the spectrum “red shift”
How does an electron transition energy levels?
To move to a higher energy level the electron absorbs a photon with a frequency exactly equal to the difference in eenergy levels
Explain the energy level equation for a hydrogen atom
Energy required to move electron from ground state to level n E(n)=R’(1-1/n^2)
