Warm-Up True or False: All elements have the same emission line spectra and so emit the same color Write the 2 equations we learned yesterday. Label each variable in both equations
Objective Today I will be able to: Correctly calculate the wavelength, energy and frequency of light emitted from an atom. Design a proper data table for the flame test lab.

Agenda Warm-Up Emission Spectra lab Calculation Practice Exit Ticket
Rotate from Station to Station to observe line spectrum of different elements and complete the lab. Emission Spectrum Lab
Investigative Question What is the relationship between energy, wavelength and frequency?
Energy, Wavelength, Frequency Calculation Notes
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Calculating Wavelength and Frequency C= 3.0 x 108 m/s (speed of light) λ = wavelength (meters) ν = frequency (Hertz or 1/seconds)
Calculating Energy and Frequency Planck came up with the equation E= hν E = Energy (Joules) h = Planck’s Constant 6.626 x 10-34 J*s ν = frequency (Hertz or 1/seconds)
