Chapter 3: Quantum-Mechanical Model of the Atom Flashcards
Red has a _____ wavelength and _______ frequency
High Wavelength, Short Frequency
The interaction between waves is called…
Interference
Waves that interact so that they add to make a larger wave are said to be in phase
Constructive interference
Waves that interact so that they cancel each other are said to be out of phase
Destructive Interference
Long wavelength and low frequency equal ____ energy
Low Energy
Atomic Spectra proved…
When atoms or molecules absorb energy, that energy is often released as light energy
Bohr’s major idea proved…
The energy of the atom waas quantized, and that the amount of energy in the amount was related to the electron’s positions in the atom
Electrons emit radiation when…
They “jump” from an orbit with higher energy down to an orbit with lower energy
Broglie Relation
Wave length equals planck’s constant over mass times velocity
