Absorption/emission Spectrum Flashcards
1
Q
What is an emission spectrum?
A
A black background with coloured lines representing the frequency emitted by electrons moving back to ground state
2
Q
Equation for difference of energy between 2 shells?
A
Energy= frequency x plancks constant
3
Q
Equation for speed of electromagnetic radiation
A
Speed= frequency x wavelength
4
Q
