KA1- Electromagnetic Spectrum Flashcards
What is the mnemonic of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Raging
Martians
Invade
Venus
Using
X-ray
Guns
What is the electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing frequency?
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible
UV
X-ray
Gamma
What is the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of increasing wavelength?
Gamma
X-ray
UV
Visible
Infrared
Microwaves
Radiowaves
If frequency increases what happens to energy and wavelength?
Energy- increases
Wavelength- decreases
If wavelength increases what happens to energy and frequency?
Energy-decreases
Frequency- decreases
What is quanta?
energy that can only be absorbed or relaesed from atoms in certain amounts
how can the energy of electrons jumping from one orbital to another be described?
an analogy
it is a piano not a violin
meaning they have set amounts of energy that is given off not any energy
What are photons?
A type of electronmagnetic radiation that can be thought as a stream of very small particles
What must be done in energy of photons of light equation?
there must be some sort of conversion into the correct units as speed of light is measured in metres
As the concentration of an ion solution increases, there is an increase in what?
intensity of radiation absorbed
What increases the intensity of the wavelengths?
increasing the concentration of solution
