Photoelectric Effect, Waves & Quantiztion Flashcards
What does accuracy mean?
How close a measurement is to the true value
What does precision mean?
How close the same measurements are to each other
What does quantization apply to?
Coins, people, electrons and energy
What is the first wave nature of light?
1) Reflection
What is the second wave nature of light?
2) Refraction
What is the third wave nature of light?
3) Inference
What is the fourth wave nature of light?
4) Interference and Diffraction
Constructive vs. Destructive
Involves Inference
Constructive- waves in phase produce a bright region
Destructive- waves out of phase produce a dark region
What is wavelength?
Distance between crest & crest
What is velocity?
Distance moved by wave crest per unit time
What is frequency?
Number of wave crest per unit time
What produces the electromagnetic spectrum?
Wavelength and frequency varying
Name the order of the electromagnetic spectrum
Whats the frequency equation?
Speed of light over wave length
OR
Velocity over wavelength
What is black body radiation?
Its electromagnetic radiation depends upon temperature for its wave lengths and colors to be emitted, not surface composition
