Objective: To understand the duality of Particles/Waves To understand how light interacts with matter
What is The Particle Light Theory? In the particle light theory, waves exist as particles with wave like properties. The properties they have are frequencies, energy, and wavelengths.
The Wave model of light cannot explain: 1.Why heated objects only emit certain frequencies. 2.Why some metals emit electrons when light of a specific frequency shines on them.
What is the Quantum Concept? Matter can gain or lose energy only in small specific amounts called quanta. Explained why heated objects emitted certain frequencies/energy
What is a quantum? The minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.
What is Planck’s Constant? x j. S Used to calculate the amount of energy in a quantum
What is the photoelectric effect? Electrons called photoelectrons are emitted from a metals surface when light of a certain frequency shines on it (Albert Einstein-1905)
What is a photon? A particle that has no mass and carries a quantum of energy
Calculations: Energy of a Photon E-energy h-planck’s constant V-frequency E photon = hv
