New cards

Electromagnetic radiation

A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

2
New cards

Wavelength

Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

3
New cards

Frequency

Number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time usually 1 second

4
New cards

Max planck

Suggested that objects emit energy in small specific packets called quanta.

5
New cards

Quantum energy

The minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom

6
New cards

E=hv

Energy = 6.626 × 10^-34 * frequency

7
New cards

E= hc/ lambda

E= 6.626 × 10^-34 × 2.998 × 10^8/ wavelength

8
New cards

Albert Einstein

Light has dual wave-particle relationship. Each particle carries a quantum of energy. These particles are photos.

9
New cards

Photon

Has 0 mass and carries a quantum

10
New cards

Quantum theory

States that electrons can exist only at specific atomic energy levels
