The frequency ( ) is the number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time The frequency ( ) is the number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time the number of waves = number of cycles the number of waves = number of cycles units are hertz (Hz) or cycles/second = s −1 units are hertz (Hz) or cycles/second = s −1 1 Hz = 1 s −1 1 Hz = 1 s −1 Characterizing Waves

16
Wavelength and Frequency Wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves are inversely proportional Wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves are inversely proportional because the speed of light is constant, if we know wavelength we can find the frequency, and vice versa because the speed of light is constant, if we know wavelength we can find the frequency, and vice versa

Interference The interaction between waves is called interference The interaction between waves is called interference When waves interact so that they add to make a larger wave it is called constructive interference When waves interact so that they add to make a larger wave it is called constructive interference waves are in-phase waves are in-phase
23
Interference The interaction between waves is called interference The interaction between waves is called interference When waves interact so they cancel each other it is called destructive interference When waves interact so they cancel each other it is called destructive interference waves are out-of-phase waves are out-of-phase
24
Diffraction When traveling waves encounter an obstacle or opening in a barrier that is about the same size as the wavelength, they bend around it – this is called diffraction When traveling waves encounter an obstacle or opening in a barrier that is about the same size as the wavelength, they bend around it – this is called diffraction traveling particles do not diffract traveling particles do not diffract

Many metals emit electrons when a light shines on them. Many metals emit electrons when a light shines on them. called the photoelectric effect called the photoelectric effect Classic wave theory said this effect was due to the light energy being transferred to the electron. Classic wave theory said this effect was due to the light energy being transferred to the electron. The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude and its frequency The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude and its frequency If the wavelength of light is made shorter, more electrons should be ejected If the wavelength of light is made shorter, more electrons should be ejected Light waves’ intensity made brighter, more electrons should be ejected Light waves’ intensity made brighter, more electrons should be ejected Predicts that if a dim light were used there would be a lag time before electrons were emitted to give the electrons time to absorb enough energy Predicts that if a dim light were used there would be a lag time before electrons were emitted to give the electrons time to absorb enough energy
31
Experiments showed that a minimum frequency was needed before electrons would be emitted Experiments showed that a minimum frequency was needed before electrons would be emitted called the threshold frequency called the threshold frequency no dependence on intensity no dependence on intensity It was observed that high-frequency light from a dim source caused electron emission without any lag time It was observed that high-frequency light from a dim source caused electron emission without any lag time The Photoelectric Effect: The Problem
32
Einstein’s Explanation Einstein proposed that the light energy was delivered to the atoms in packets, called quanta or photons Einstein proposed that the light energy was delivered to the atoms in packets, called quanta or photons The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely to wavelength The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely to wavelength the proportionality constant is called Planck’s Constant, (h) and has the value the proportionality constant is called Planck’s Constant, (h) and has the value

35
Ejected Electrons One photon at the threshold frequency gives the electron just enough energy for it to escape the atom One photon at the threshold frequency gives the electron just enough energy for it to escape the atom binding energy, binding energy, When irradiated with a shorter wavelength photon, the electron absorbs more energy than is necessary to escape When irradiated with a shorter wavelength photon, the electron absorbs more energy than is necessary to escape This excess energy becomes kinetic energy of the ejected electron This excess energy becomes kinetic energy of the ejected electron Kinetic Energy = E photon – E binding KE = h −
