Chater 3 Energy And Energy Changes Flashcards
Quantum mechanics
Branch of physics that deals with the behavior of atomic particles
Electromagnetic radiation
A type of energy embodied as oscillating electric and magnetic vectors
Amplitude
A measure of maximum displacement from a baseline
Wavelength, λ
Distance between two adjacent peaks/troughs
Frequency, ν
A measure of the number of cycles that passes a stationary point in a given true period
Refraction
The bending of waves as it passes from one medium to another of different densities
Diffraction
The bending of lights as it passes through a small opening
Fraunhofer lines
Missing energies from sunlight energy is continuous
Blackbodies
Emit radiation based on temperature
Coal
Red 1000k
Orange 1500k
White 2000k
Quantum
The smallest, discrete quantity of a particle form of energy
Quantized
Restricted to certain values. Energy of the atom is quantized.
Equantum=hv
E:energy j/quantum
h: plancks constant- 6.626e-34
v: frequency
Photoelectric effect
1.presence of a threshold frequency. Vmin. Red light==>no electron ejected Low V Blue light==>electron ejected High V 2.absence of a lag time Bright blue light>same time for electron vs. dim blue light
Photon
A quantum of electromagnetic radiation
Ephoton=hV e- ejected, only if
Elight>Φ
Φ=hVmin
φ: work function-minimum energy needed
If light>Φ Elight=Φ + KEe-
Neil Bohr
- e- reside in particular orbitals know. As stationary states
- energy of an e- in a stationary state is related to the distance from the nucleus
- electrons can move from one stationary state to another by absorbing or releasing energy equal to the difference in energies of the stationary state
- the energy of a stationary is given by its “principal quantum number”(n)-2.18x10^-18
