1
New cards

Electromagnetic spectrum (low → high energy)

Radio → Microwave → Infrared → Visible → UV → X-ray → Gamma

2
New cards

Formula with wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν)

c = λν (c = speed of light = 3.00×10⁸ m/s)

3
New cards

Formula for energy

E = hν = hc/λ (h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 x1034 J*s)

4
New cards

What increases energy

Higher frequency; shorter wavelength

5
New cards

Emission

Excited atom releases photon → colored line

6
New cards

Absorption

Atom absorbs specific λ → dark line

7
New cards

What each element has

A unique spectrum

8
New cards

Bohr model

Electrons jump between fixed energy levels; ΔE = Efinal – Einitial = hν
