Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College26 Kirchhoff ’ s Laws A sufficiently dense substance (solid, liquid, or gas) emits a continuous spectrum. A low-density hot gas emits an emission spectrum. A low-density cool gas absorbs certain wavelengths from a continuous spectrum, leaving an absorption spectrum.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College27 Photon energy The energy of a photon (a packet of light) is directly proportional to the frequency of the photon. High frequency means high energy Double the frequency means double the energy of the photon.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College29 Stefan ’ s Law Total energy radiated (from each m 2 of surface area) is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature (T) 4.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College30 Stefan ’ s Law Total energy radiated (from each m 2 of surface area) is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature (T) 4. And the Stefan-Boltzmann equation: F =  T 4 (here F is Energy Flux)

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College41 But where do those lines come from?

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College42 Background At the end of the 19th century, many scientists believed that they had “discovered it all” and that only details remained to be filled in. (Like why are those spectral lines there.) Electromagnetic energy appears to come in “packets”, called photons. Particle nature of photons helps explain interactions with matter. Photon energy is directly proportional to frequency.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College43 Quantum Mechanics (How to build an atom)

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College44 How to Build an Atom Components Proton - heavy, positive charge Neutron - heavy, no charge Electron - light, negative charge Number of protons defines element type (atomic number) Sum of protons and neutrons defines atomic weight

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College45 How to Build an Atom Almost all atom mass is in the nucleus (protons and neutrons) Protons are held together by nuclear force. (Very strong, but very short range.) Protons (positive charge) make an “electromagnetic potential well.” (Attracts negative charges.) Electrons (negative charge) are attracted to the well and “fill it up” until you end up with a neutral atom.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College47 Some Rules for Atoms No two electrons can be in the same state of the same atom at the same time. Only certain energy levels are allowed. Only photons with the same energy as the difference between allowed atomic states can be absorbed or emitted from an atom.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College48 Hydrogen Spectrum Transitions from excited state to ground state will emit ultraviolet light. Transitions from higher excited state to first excited state emit visible photons.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College50 Figure 2.20 Helium and Carbon Allowed energy levels are much more complex when multiple electrons are involved. Allowed energy levels are much more complex when multiple nuclei are involved (molecules).
