Q

refraction

A
  • when a light wave passes from one medium into another at an angle other, the speed of the wave changes
  • if the wave strikes the boundary between media at an angle other than 90, the change in speed causes a change in direction, and the wave continues at a different angle

dispersion

A

when a wave strikes the edge of an object and bends around it. if the wave passes through a slit as wide as its wavelength, it bends around both edges of the slit and forms a semi-circular wave on the other side of the opening

Q

describe the two possible outcomes for a diffraction pattern

  • out of phase: if crests coincide with troughs, the interfere destructively - the amplitudes cancel to form a darker region

Q

planck’s equation and explain a more popular alternative

A

ΔE = E(emitted/absorbed radiation) = Δnhv

atoms can change energy only by integer multiples of hv, so the smallest energy change occurs when Δn=1:

ΔE = hv

Q

two confusing features that led scientists to the idea of the photoelectric effect

A

presence of a threshold frequency:
- wave theory associates the energy of light with its amplitude (intensity) not frequency (color)
- it thus predicts that an electron would break free when it absorbed enough energy from light of any color
- for current to flow, the light shining on the metal must have a minimum frequency (diff metals = diff frequencies)

absence of a time lag:
- wave theory predicts that with dim light there would be a time lag before the current flows as the electrons would have to absorb enough energy to break free
- current flows the moment light of the min frequency shines on the metal, regardless of the light’s intensity

Q

how does photon theory explain the two features of the photoelectric effect?

A

threshold frequency:
- the intensity (brightness) of a beam of light is related to the number of photons, but not to the energy of each.
- a photon of a certain minimum energy must be absorbed to free an electron from the surface

absence of time lag:
- an electron breaks free when it absorbs a photon of enough energy
- current is weak in dim light cos fewer photons of enough energy can free fewer electrons per unit time, but some current flows as soon as light of sufficient energy/freq strikes the metal

Q

give a roadmap of new ideas of light and matter, from before 1900 to after

A

before 1900:
light: wave character - eg wavelength, frequency, diffraction
matter: particulate character - eg mass, position

experiments:
- photoelectric effect
- diffraction by electrons
- atomic line spectra

wave-particle duality:
light: both wave and particulate character
matter: both particulate and wave character

Q

describe how the emission of light from atoms was confusing for scientists

Q

give 3 ways in which electrostatic interactions determine sub level energies

A
  1. greater nuclear charge lowers sub level energy, making electrons harder to remove
  2. electron-electron repulsions raise sub level energy, making electrons easier to remove. repulsions shield electrons from the full nuclear charge, reducing it to an effective nuclear charge, Z(eff). Inner electrons shield outer electrons very effectively.
  3. penetration makes an electron harder to remove because nuclear attraction increases and shielding decreases. therefore, an energy level is split into sub levels with the energy order s<p<d<f

Q

describe two factors affecting atomic size

A
  1. changes in n; as the principal quantum number (n) increases, the probability that outer electrons spend most of their time farther from the nucleus increases as well; atomic size increases.
  2. changes in Z(eff): as effective nuclear charge increases, outer electrons are pulled closer to nucleus; atomic size decreases

Q

define shielding and effective nuclear charge

A

Shielding occurs when inner electrons protect or shield outer electrons from the full nuclear attractive force. The
effective nuclear charge is the nuclear charge an electron actually experiences. As the number of inner electrons
increases, shielding increases, and the effective nuclear charge decreases

107
Q

A

Penetration occurs when the probability distribution of an orbital is large near the nucleus, which results in an increase of the overall attraction of the nucleus for the electron, lowering its energy.
