lecture 2 Flashcards
trough
bottom part of the wave
wavelength (symbol looks kind of like an X)
linear distance covered before a wave starts to repeat itself (crest to crest or trough to trough)
low frequency wave
higher wave length (longer)
high frequency wave
lower wave length, short and choppy
frequency (v)
number of times a wave repeats itself per second
formula for frequency and wavelength
c = (x)(v) or speed of light (3x10^8) = wavelength x frequency
max planck
thought that heat radiated from a beated object is emitted in units - quanta
emergy increases in:
discrete units. increases by a full quantum or not at all (stair comparison)
energy equation
E = (h)(v) or Energy per Quantum = planck’s constant (6.63x10^-34) X frequency
photoelectric effect facts
1) highly intense low frequency light does not eject any electrons.
2) when the threshold frequency is reached, electrons are ejected immediately
3) increasing the intensity of light at a freq. that’ll cause them to eject results in a higher common rate
4) increasing the freq. of light increases velocity of ejected electrons
coulombs law
(q1)(q2) F=k--------- d^2 or force of attraction=constant X magnitude of charge associated w a particle / distance between charged particles
first ionization energy
minimum amount of energy required to remove the outermost, least tightly held electron from an atom in the gas phase
crest
top part of a wave
