The Development of a New Atomic Model

Question	Answer
A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space.	electromagnetic radiation
All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation	electromagnetic spectrum
All forms of electromagnetic radiation move at a constant speed of	3.00 x 10 to the 8th power m/s through a vacuum and a slightl slower speed through matter
The distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves	Wavelength
What is the significant feature of wave motion	repetitive nature
The number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time usually one second	Frequency
How is frerquency expressed	waves/second
What is one wave/second called	hertz
A pioneer in the study of elecromagnetic radiation.	Heimrich Hertz
How can you measure a waves frequency	Observing how often the water level rises and falls at a given point
What is the formula for electormagnetic radiation	c=&v
In the electromagnetic radiation formula what does c	The speed of light
In the electromagnetic radiation formula what does &	The wavelength of the electomagnetic wave
In the electromagnetic radiation formula what does v	Frequency of the electromagnetic wave
Because c is the same for all electromagnetic radiation, the product &v is	a constant
As the wavelength of light decreases, its frequency	increases
the emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal	photoelectric effect
electromagnetic radiation strikes the surface of the metal,ejecting electrons from the metal and causing an electric current.	photoelectric effect
Who suggested that the object emits energy in small, specific packets	Planck
the minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom	quantum of energy
Small specific packets of energy	Quanta
What does the equation E = hv represent	The relationship between a quantum of energy and the frequency of radiation.
In the Equation E = hv, what does E represent	Energy
In the Equation E = hv, what does v represent	frequency
In the Equation E = hv, what does h represent	fundamental physical constant known as Planck's constant
a particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy	photon
How did Einstein explain the photoeletric effect	He proposed that electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by matter only in whole numbers of photons.
What has to occur for an electron to be ejected froma metal surface	the electron must be struck by a single photon possessing at least the minimum energy required to knock the electron loose
The lowest energy state of an atom is	ground state
A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state	excited state.
When an excited atom returns to its ground state or a lower energy excited state, it gives off	the energy it gained in the form of electromagnetic radiation
When a narrow beam of the emitted light was shined through a prism, it was separated into four specific colors of the visible spectrum known as	emission-line spectrum
The wavelengths of some of the spectral series are known as	Lyman, Balmer, and Paschen series, after their discoverers
the emission of a continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation	continuous spectrum
Attempts to explain the observation of why hydrogen atoms gave off only specific frequencies of light led to what theory	quantum theory
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls to its ground state or to a lower-energy excited state, it emits what	photon of radiation
When the electron falls to a lower energy level, a photon is emitted,the process is called	emission.
When Energy must be added to an atom in order to move an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. This process is called	absorption.
The electron can circle the nucleus only in allowed paths or	Orbits
