Maxwell (1860) - all energy radiated from objects (including visible light) is electromagnetic radiation. Composed of radiated waves of both electrical and magnetic energy
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related Wavelength (λ - “lambda”): distance from point to the same point on the next wave. Frequency (ν – “nu” or ƒ): number of wavelengths, or cycles, that pass a point per unit time. Frequency measured in cycles per second (s -1 ), or the SI unit hertz (Hz) Amplitude: height of the wave from origin to crest. Wavelength and frequency do not affect amplitude
Types of Electromagnetic radiation f and λ determine what you see or feel, amplitude determines how bright or hot Memorize this wavelength range…
Sunlight (white light) shone through a prism separates it into a continuous spectrum of colours. The different wavelength for each colour causes them to refract or bend at different angles
All EMR radiates at 3.00 x 10 8 m/s in a vacuum. This universal value (c) is a product of the wavelength and frequency of the radiated energy. “speed of light” c = λƒ
The colours seen in fireworks are a result of burning different salts. Red light has a wavelength of 650 nanometres. Calculate the frequency of red light (1 nm x m). ƒλc = ƒ 650 x m = 3.00 x 10 8 m/s ƒ = 4.6 x Hz

Energy emitted by a element can be separated – to produce a Line spectrum (emission spectrum) Disclaimer: This is not as simple as my “art” looks
The colored lines of the atoms (or Spectral Lines) are a kind of "signature" for the atoms. C O Spectroscopy and spectrophotometry are techniques used to investigated EMR emissions.
Planck's Radiation Law: Energy is transmitted in discrete amounts – called quanta. EMR is a stream of tiny “packets” of quantized energy carried by particle-like photons. A photon has no mass but carries a quantum of energy
E q = hf E – energy of a quantum (Joules) h – Plank’s constant (6.626 x J s) f – frequency of absorbed or emitted EMR Energy (quantum) contained in a photon is directly related to the frequency of the radiation. So higher frequency waves contained larger “packets” of energy
The blue colour of fireworks is often achieved by heating copper (I) chloride to about 1200 o C. The wavelength of the blue light is 450 nm. What is the quantum of energy emitted by this light? E = hf ƒ = c λ ƒ 450 x m = 3.00 x 10 8 m/s ƒ = 6.7 x Hz E = (6.626 x J · s)(6.7 x Hz) E = 4.4 x J q
