Question
Answer
electron configurations   explanations of periodic of the arrangement of electrons w/in atoms  
🗑
valance electrons   electrons in he outermost shell  
🗑
electromagnetic radiation   consists of oscillating perpendicular electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the same rate "spd of light" 2.998 x 10^8 m/s  
🗑
Spectrum   the distribution of intensities of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by an object.  
🗑
wavelength   distance btwn adjacent crests (or troughs) in a wave  
🗑
frequency   # of complete waves passing a pt in a given period of time--that is, cycles per second or simply persecond, 1/s  
🗑
lower frequency =   longer wavelength  
🗑
higher frequency =   shorter wavelength  
🗑
per second is equivalent to   hertz (Hz)  
🗑
amplitude   height of the crest  
🗑
spd of light (c)   2.998 x 10^8 m/s  
🗑
wavelength is measured in...   (m, nm. etc.) unit length  
🗑
Planck's constant   6.626 x 10^-34  
🗑
E = hv   E = hc/lambda  
🗑
photoelectric effect   certain metals exhibit a photoelectric effect: they emit electrons when illuminated by light of certain wavelengths  
🗑
dual nature   "wave" or "particle" characteristics. both ideas are needed to fully explain light's behavior  
🗑
diffraction   when waves of light pass thru such adjacent narrow slots, the waves are scattered so that the emerging light waves spread out  
🗑
refraction   bending of light by a prism and the diffraction of light by a diffraction grating, a device w/ a series of parallel, closely spaced small slits.  
🗑
quantize   To limit a variable or variables describing a physical system to discrete, distinct values. (photons are the quanta of energy)  
🗑
continuous spectrum   contains light of all wavelengths in the visible region  
🗑
principle quantum number   each allowed orbit was assigned an interger, n  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
