EMR Flashcards
What is EMR
Electromagnetic radiation are continuous waves that move through space. They all move at the speed of light.
Relationship between speed and wavelength in EMR
c = f λ
f = c / λfrequency
The energy of Electromagnetic waves is described by what equation
E = energy
H = Plancks constantl 6 x 10 -34 Js
E = h f
E α f
E = hc / λ
E α 1/λ
Joules per particle formula
E = hc / λ
Energy per mole
E = hc.AV/λ
What unit measures wavelength, speed of light, frequency?
Wavelength in metres
Speed in metres per second
Frequency in hertz
What is UV vis radiation?
The visible and ultraviolet regions of the EM spectrum
Between 10 and 780 nm
Gamma radiation
High frequency
High energy
Short wavelength
When white light shines on or through a substance
some of the light is absorbed by the substance, and the remaining wavelengths transmitted
eg, Copper Sulphate solution absorbs orange light but appears blue
What is the colour of a substance and the depth of the colour of a substance depend on?
Colour is dependant on wavelength
Depth of colour depends on concentration
