2. Light and Atomic Emission Spectra
The Nature of Light
Light consists of electromagnetic waves.
Amplitude - wave’s height from zero to the crest.
Wavelength () - distance between the crests.
Frequency () - number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time.

3. Light and Atomic Emission Spectra
The Nature of Light
Speed of Light = wavelength x frequency
c =  108 m/s.
c = ln

4. Light and Atomic Emission Spectra
Frequency () and wavelength () are inversely proportional.
As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

9. Light and Atomic Emission Spectra
The Nature of Light
When sunlight passes through a prism, different wavelengths separate into a spectrum of colors.
Red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
Violet has the shortest wavelength (highest frequency)

12. Light and Atomic Emission Spectra
When atoms absorb energy, their electrons move to higher energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels. Electrons absorb/emit quanta(tiny packets) of energy.
No two elements have the same emission spectrum.

13. The Quantum Concept and Photons
The Quantization of Energy
The amount of energy (E) absorbed or emitted by an atom is proportional to the frequency of radiation (n).
h = Plank’s Constant = x J·s
E = hn

14. The Quantum Concept and Photons
Photoelectric effect: electrons are ejected when light of sufficient frequency shines on a metal.
Light quanta are called photons
Energy of a photon = E = h x ⋎
