Colorful Quantum Quest Flashcards
Which property of light is not explained by the wave model?
Blue light can knock electrons off a metal surface but red cannot
The amount of energy in a photon is proportional to the
Frequency of the corresponding light wave
As the frequency of a light wave increases
It’s energy always increases
The color of an object appears to be depends on the
Frequency of light that reaches your eye
The color that an object can be depends on the
Size and shape of its molecules, # of electrons, frequencies
When you look at an orange you see the color orange because the fruit
Reflects orange light and absorbs other colors
White light separated into different colors when it passed through a prism because of
Differences in wave speed, dispersion, and refraction
If you look at a genetically red tulip with green leaves under green light it appears to be
Black with green leaves
Because the index of refraction is larger for diamond than glass, light will
Display total internal reflection with more light incidences
Light with a wavelength of 450 nm will bend more than a wavelength of 600 nm when it is
Refracted
Light will form an interference pattern when passed thorough two small slits only when
There is uncertainty in position
A quantum wave collapses when
It is measured
An electron is set to absorb a photon, if a smaller photon hits the electron what will happen?
The elsctron will stay at its current energy level
This is not true
An electrons position and momentum can simultaneously be known with 100% certainty
Light demonstrates particle characteristics when it
Knocks electrons off a metal surface
