khz = hz
1000 hz = 1 khz
mhz = hz
1e6 hz = 1mhz
mm =m
1000 mm =1 m
nm= m
1e9nm =1m
a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
electromagnetic radiation
all forms of electromagnetic radiation for the
electromagnetic spectrum
the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves
wavelength
the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time (usually 1 sec)
frequency
the value of c
3.00e8 ms
the value of h

the equation for the relationship between frequency and wavelength is
c=lamda x v
the quantum of energy equation
e=hv
the emmison of electrons from a metal when a light shins on the medal
photoelectric effect
the minimum quantity of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
quantum
a parcel of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carry a quantum of energy*
