Q

What is the definition of frequency, its symbol and the unit?

A

Symbolized by the greek letter nu (ν)

Refers to the number of waves that pass a given point in some unit of time, usually per second.

The unit for frequency, written either as s^(-1) or 1/s and standing for 1 oscillation per second, is called a hertz

Wavelength-Frequency conversions

The frequency of the radiation used in cell phones covers a range from about 800MHz to 2GHz. (MHz stands for “megahertz”, where 1 MHz= 10^6 1/s; GHz stands for “gigahertz”, where 1 GHz = 10^9 1/s)

Q

What is the key aspects of Planck’s theory for general chemistry ?

A

The key aspects of Planck’s theory for general chemistry are that Planck introduced the idea of quantized energies and the equation E=hv, an equation that was to have an important impact on the work of Albert Einstein in explaining another puzzling phenomenon.

Q

Energy and chemistry: using Planck’s equation

DVD players use laser that emit red light with a wavelength of 640nm.

What is the energy of one photo of this light? What is the energy of 1.0 mol of photons of red light?

1 photons = 6.022 X 10^23 photons= Avogadro’s number

Example 6.2: Chemistry and chemical reactivity 9th edition Student book.

A

The wavelength (640nm) expressed in meters id 6.4 X 10^-7 m. The frequency is determined using the wavelength- frequency equation

λ= c 2.998 X 10^8 m/s
— = ————————— = 4.7 X 10^14 1/s
v 6.4 X 10^-7 m

Then the frequency is used to calculate the energy per photon.
E=hν

E per photon = hv=
(6.626 X 10^-34 J∙s/photon) X ( 4.7 X 10^14 1/s)
= 3.1 X 10^-19 J/photon

The energy of a mole of photons is calculated by multiplying the energy per photon by Avogadro’s number

E per mol =
(3.1 X 10^-19 J/photon) X (6.022 X 10^23 photons)
=1.9 X 10^5 J/mol

Q

in which condition an atom in gas phase is said to be “excited”?

A

If a high voltage is applied to atoms of an element in the gas phase at low pressure, the atoms absorb energy and are said to be “exited”.
The exited atoms can then emit light.

What Johann Balmer and Johannes Rydberg has found ?

A

Johann Balmer and Johannes Rydberg has found and equation named Balmer equation to calculate the wavelength of the red, green, and blue lines in the visible emission spectrum of hydrogen
