from revision so far Flashcards
visible light wavelength range
400nm
700nm
what colour has a visible light wavelength of 400nm
blue
what colour has a visible light wavelength of 700nm
red
how do u turn nm into m
x 10^-9
/1000 then /1000 then /1000
units of wavelength
nm
cm
m
units for speed of light
nm s-1
cm s-1
m s-1
frequency, v units
s-1
frequency definition
number of wavelengths per second
energy of one photon in J
E=hv
units of h planks constant
Js
6.626x10^-34
what is spec the study of
light and matter
absorption spec
e- absorbing certain photons of light and transitioning to a higher energy level
emission spec
e- releasing specific photons of light and returning to ground level
stimulated emission spec
incident ray is applied onto an e- in order for it to release photons and transition to lower energy levels
incident ray energy = transition energy = energy of emission
wavelength
frequency
speed of light
