LM7-8 Flashcards
Who discovered the electron and how
JJ Thomson, cathode ray tube
Cathode Ray Tube Experiment
ray of negatively charged particles (electron) curved towards positive charge
Who discovered the protons and how
Rutherford, gold foil experiment
Gold Foil Experiment
positively charged alpha particles go right through gold foil, some deflect off of positive nuclei back to the source
Who discovered the neutron
Chadwick
Contribution of Max Planck
Electron energies are quantized
Contribution of Niels Bohr
Invented the Bohr atom model
Bohr atom model (3 points)
Electrons orbit around the nucleus at fixed energy levels; the farther they are from the nucleus, they more energy they have; moving to a lower level emits light, moving to a higher level absorbs light
Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)
radiation including everything from radio waves to gamma rays, include electric and magnetic waves
Wavelength (λ)
distance between two peaks or troughs
Frequency (v) (Hz)
number of wave cycles that pass a specific space in a specific time
Relation between wavelength and frequency
Inverse relationship through the speed of light
Speed of Light constant
3 x 10^8 m/s
Relationship between frequency and energy
Direct proportional relationship
Proof of EMR
Double slit experiment
