| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| electromagetic radiation | a from of energy exhibiting wavelike behavior as it travel thorough space; can be described by wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed and includes visbile light, mircowaves, xrays, and radio waves |
| wavelength | is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave |
| frequency | is the number of waves given point per second. |
| amplitude | of a wave is the waves height from orgin to a crest, or from orgin to a trough |
| electromagnetic spectrum | also called the EM spectrum encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radation, with the onl differences in the types of radaton being their fequencies and wavlengths |
| quantum | is the minimum amount of energy that can gained or lost by an atom. |
| Planck's constant | has a vaule of 6.626 x 10 -34.s, wher j is the symbol for the joule, the unit if energy. |
| photoelectric effect | electrons, called photoelectrons, are emitted from a metal surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. |
| photon | is a particle of electromagnetic radation with no mass the carries a quantumof energy |
| atomic emmission specturm | of an element is hte set of fequencies of electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the elment. |
| ground state | the lowest allowable energy state of an atom |
| de Broglie equation | predicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics. |
| heisenberg uncertainly principle | states that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both velocity and postion of a particle at the same time. |
| quantum mechanical model of the atom | the atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves is calles |
