Chapter 5 Flashcards
Rutherford’s Model
Positive charge + all of mass is in a concentrated nucleus surrounded by electrons
EM radiation
Energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
Wavelength
λ, is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave
1 nm
10-9 m
Frequency
v, The number of waves that pass a given point per second
Hertz
One wave per second
SI Unit of frequency
Hertz
____ s-1
Used to measure frequency, is equivalent to Hertz. Is used to express “waves per second”
Amplitude
The length from the origin of a wave to its crest/trough.
c
Speed of light
c=?
c=λv c=wavelength*frequency c=3.00*108 m/s
Frequency and wavelength are _____ related
Inversely
White light
Contains a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies. For example, sunlight passing through a prism is separated into a continuous spectrum of colors.
Visible spectrum
The colors we an see w/ a human eye
Why is a spectrum continuous?
There is no portion that does not correspond to a unique wavelength and frequency of light.
How is a rainbow formed?
Drops of water in the air disperse the white light from the sun to it’s component colors to form a rainbow.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
AKA the EM spectrum, encompasses all forms of EM radiation.
The only differences between the types of EM radiation are ______?
Frequency and wavelength. Speed (c) remains the same (3.00*108 m/s)
What wavelengths bend more as the pass through a prism?
Long wavelengths bend more.
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red
What is the order of colors in visible light from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Energy is directly proportional to ______
Frequency (v)
Energy is inversely proportional to _______
Wavelength (λ)
What color of visible light has the most energy? Why?
Violet; it has the highest frequency.
List the EM spectrum in terms of longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Radio, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, UV, X rays, Gamma
What type of EM radiation has the most energy?
Gamma rays
What type of EM radiation has the least energy?
Radio
List the EM spectrum in terms of lowest frequency to highest frequency
Radio, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, UV, X rays, Gamma
Max Planck
Studied light emitted from heated objects: Matter can gain or lose energy only in small, specific amounts called quanta.
Quantum
The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
Glowing objects emit light, a form of energy. This emitted light energy is _______.
Quantized. (Propsosed by Planck)
Matter, regardless of its form, can gain or lose energy only in small _____ amounts.
Quantized.
Equantum=?
e=hv; where e is energy, h is Planck’s constant and v is frequency.
Planck’s constant
6.626*10-34 Joules seconds
What is the SI unit of energy?
Joules
