2.5 Atomic Spectra Calculations Flashcards
1
Q
How is the energy of a photon related to the frequent of the electromagnetic radiation?
A
E = hv
where v is the frequency of electromagnetic radiation
h is Plancks constant
2
Q
What can E=hv be used to work out?
A
The difference in energy between various levels in the hydrogen atom.
3
Q
How is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation related to frequency?
A
v = c/lambda
where c is the speed of light
