Section 5-1 The Atom and Unanswered Questions Recall that in Rutherford's model, the atom’s mass is concentrated in the nucleus and electrons move around it. The model doesn’t explain how the electrons were arranged around the nucleus.

Section 5-1 The Atom and Unanswered Questions (cont.) In the early 1900s, scientists observed certain elements emitted visible light when heated in a flame. Analysis of the emitted light revealed that an element’s chemical behavior is related to the arrangement of the electrons in its atoms.

Section 5-1 The Wave Nature of Light A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one location to another location waves/wavemotion.htmlhttp:// waves/wavemotion.html

Section 5-1 All waves can be described by several characteristics The wavelength (λ) is the distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave.wavelength The frequency (ν) is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.frequency The amplitude is the wave’s height from the origin to a crest.amplitude

Section 5-1 The Wave Nature of Light (cont.)

Section 5-1 The Wave Nature of Light (cont.) The speed of light (3.00  10 8 m/s) is the product of it’s wavelength and frequency c = λν.

Section 5-1 The Wave Nature of Light (cont.) Sunlight contains a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies. The continuous range of frequencies given off by the Sun is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.

Section 5-1 The Wave Nature of Light (cont.)

Section 5-1 The Particle Nature of Light (cont.) The photoelectric effect is when electrons are emitted from a metal’s surface when light of a certain frequency shines on it.photoelectric effect

The remarkable aspects of the photoelectric effect when it was first observed were: 1.The electrons were emitted immediately - no time lag! 2.Increasing the intensity of the light increased the number of electrons, but not their energy! 3.Red light did not cause the ejection of electrons, no matter what the intensity!

Energy of the ejected electrons was proportional to the frequency of the illuminating light. There seemed to be a energy threshold, minimum energy required by atoms to lose electrons

Section 5-1 Albert Einstein proposed in 1905 that light has a dual nature. A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy.photon A quantum is the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.quantum E photon = h E photon represents energy. h is Planck's constant. represents frequency.

When a sample of element is subjected to an input of energy, such as from an electric discharge, the atoms are themselves found to emit electromagnetic radiation. A emitted electromagnetic radiation can be separated into its component frequencies (wavelengths or energies). These are then represented as spectral lines along an increasing frequency scale to form an atomic emission spectrum.
