12
New cards

electromagnetic radiation

waves of the electromagnetic field which propogate through space and carry momentum and electromagnetic radiant energy

13
New cards

electromagnetic waves

synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields

14
New cards

wavelength (lambda)

distance between two adjacent peaks (throughs)

15
New cards

frequency (nu)

number of wavelengths that pass through a point at each second

16
New cards

c

3× 10^8 m/s

17
New cards

wavelength and frequency equation

lambda = c/nu (wavelength=speed/frequency)

18
New cards

order of waves by increasing wavelength

gxuvimr

good xylophone under viola interest meeting room

gammarays xray ultraviolet visible infrared microwaves radio waves

19
New cards

visible light wavelength range

380-750 nm

20
New cards

visible spectrum

a continuous range of colors with no blank spots ex: the rainbow

21
New cards

light absorption

some substances absorb ultraviolet and/or visible light

unabsorbed light bounce off is the color

22
New cards

absorbance is dependent on

nature of substance

how much substance

thickness

23
New cards

absorbance equation

A= I/I(vo) (absorbance = light passing through/incident light)

24
New cards

beer-bouguer-lamberts law

A= episilon* l * c (absorption= coefficient of absorption * length * concentration)

25
New cards

motion of radio waves on matter

excites spin of nucleus (spin faster)

26
New cards

radio waves use example

MRI, AM, FM radio

27
New cards

motion of microwaves on matter

excites spin of electrons, collisions cause friction, causes heat

28
New cards

microwaves use examples

in the microwave excites rotation of H2O and fats around 12 cm to cook food

29
New cards

motion of infrared on matter

causes vibration in molecules

30
New cards

infrared use examples

night vision googles, heat lamps, excites wavelength of OH in ethanol used to measure intoxication

31
New cards

motion of visible on matter

excites valence electrons to higher energy levels

32
New cards

visible use examples

solution for H-atoms (Balmer series), rays of detection for human eye

33
New cards

motion of ultraviolet on matter

excites valence electrons

34
New cards

ultraviolet use examples

Lyman series for H emission, causes sunburns

35
New cards

motion of x-rays on matter

excites core electrons

36
New cards

xrays use examples

invasive imaging, causes cell mutations

37
New cards

motion of gamma rays on matter

associated with the decay of atom nucleus

38
New cards

gammarays use examples

emitted from stars, radiation

39
New cards

wave model limitations

blackbody radiation

photoelectric effect

emission spectra

40
New cards

blackbody radiation

emission of light from hot objects

41
New cards

photon

radiant energy striking the metal surface behaves like a stream of tiny energy packets

42
New cards

photoelectric effect

emission of electrons from metal surface

43
New cards

emission spectra

emission of light from electronically excited gas atoms

44
New cards

quantum

minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction

here minimum amount of energy is required to produce higher frequency radiation

45
New cards

Plank’s constant

h= 6.626 ×10^-34 J*s

46
New cards

energy equation

E=h*nu (energy= plank’s constant*frequency)

47
New cards

ejecting electrons according to classical mechanic

the intensity of the light should make any hv energy eject electrons, but this does not happen

48
New cards

ejecting electrons according to Planck and EInstein

thinking of light as a particle, a photon, of enough energy 𝐸 = ℎ𝑣 will eject electrons. (ℎ𝑣 is a photon)

49
New cards

photoelectric effect equation

E= E threshhold + KE(ve-) (kinetic energy= work function + kinetic energy ejected e-)

50
New cards

photon with energy above the threshold energy will cause

electrons to be ejected with higher velocities

51
New cards

the larger the “gap” between the threshold and the photon energy,

the higher the electron velocity

52
New cards

black-body radiation

the thermal electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body

53
New cards

black body

an idealized opaque, non-reflective object,

it has a specific continuous spectrum of wavelengths, inversely related to intensity, that depend only on the body’s temperature

54
New cards

according to the bohr model

electrons orbit the nucleus only at specific, fixed distances called quantized energy levels

no electrons can be found between orbits

55
New cards

as energy levels get closer they become the 1/n² function given by rydberg equation showing

energy level spacings are discrete and not continuous as classical mechanics would predict

56
New cards

Lyman

fall to n=1, uv range photon emission

57
New cards

Balmer

fall to n=2, visible irange photon emission

58
New cards

Paschen

fall to n=3, ir range photon emission

59
New cards

a in rydeberg eq.

(1/n(v0)²-1/n(vb)²)

inversely related to wavelength

60
New cards

de brogile on electrons and wavelengths

an electron moving about the nucleus of an atom behaves like a wave and therefore has a wavelength

61
New cards

wavelength depends on

mass and velocity
