8. Emission Spectra

9. According to the Quantum Model…
Electrons can move as waves
When electrons release energy, they release in the form of light photons

10. Spectroscopy
Study of the emission and absorption of light by atoms and molecules

11. Anatomy of a wave

12. Anatomy of a wave
Wavelength (λ - lambda) – distance between crests in a wave
Frequency (v - nu) – number of complete waves passing a point in a given amount of time
Amplitude - distance from wave origin to peak or crest

13. Electromagnetic Spectrum

14. Bohr Model of Atom Electrons are found on specific energy levels
When electrons absorb energy, they more to a higher energy level
When electrons emit energy, they move to a lower energy level and release light energy

15. Absorption and Emission of Electrons

16. Absorption of Energy Photoelectric Effect
Electrons are emitted from solids, liquids or gases when they absorb energy from light.

17. Emitted Light
Color is seen if the electron falls back to energy level (n) 2
This is visible light
The amount an e- fall determines the frequency of EM radiation released (n = 1 = UV; n = 3 infrared)

18. Emitted Light
No two elements give off the same spectra of colors, because they vary in the number of protons and electrons
Emit their own unique line spectra
Can be used to identify elements

19. Line Spectra Emission Spectra of Hydrogen
1 nm = 1 x 10-9 m = “a billionth of a meter”

20. Continuous vs. Line spectra
All wavelengths of visible light are seen
Line (Emission) Spectra
Only specific bands of color are seen
1 nm = 1 x 10-9 m

21. Rotate from Station to Station to observe line spectrum of different elements and complete the lab.
