| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| electromagnetic radiation | a form of energy exhibiting wavelike behavior as it travels through space |
| wavelength | the shortest distance between equivelent points of a constant wave. |
| frequency | the number of waves that pass through a given point per second |
| amplitude | the height of a wave from origin to trough or crest |
| electromagnetic spectrum | all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the type of radiation being their frequency and wavelengths. |
| quantum | the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lostby an atom |
| Planck's Constant | the symbol for joules the SI unit of energy |
| Photoelectric effect | surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface |
| Photon | a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum wave of energy |
| Atomic emission spectrum | the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by ato,s of the element |
| ground state | lowest alloweable energy state of an atom |
| the Brogile equation | predicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics |
| Heisenburg uncertainty Principle | |
| Quantum mechanical model of an atom | f |
| Atomic orbotal | |
| principle quantum number | |
| principle energy level | the major energy level of an atom |
| energy sublevel | |
