Question
Answer
Wavelength   is the shortest distance between equilvalent points on a continuous wave.  
🗑
Frequency   is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.  
🗑
amplitude   is the wave's height from the orgin to a crest, or from the orgin to a trough.  
🗑
electromagnetic spectrum   encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation.  
🗑
quantum   is the minimum amount of energy that can gained or loss by a atom.  
🗑
Planck's constant   6.626 X 10 -34 J X s where J is the symbol for the joule  
🗑
photoelectric effect   electrons called photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certrain frequency shines on a surface.  
🗑
photon   is a particle of the electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries the quantum energy.  
🗑
atomic emission spectrum   is the set of frequency's of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element.  
🗑
ground state   the lowest allowable energy state of an atom.  
🗑
de Broglie equation   predicts that all moving particles have a wave characteristics.  
🗑
Heisenberg uncertainty principle   states that it is fundementally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.  
🗑
quantum mechanical model of an atom   an atomic model in which elecrtrons are treated as waves.  
🗑
atomic orbital   A three dimensional region around the nucleus.  
🗑
principle quantum numbers   that indicates the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals.  
🗑
principle energy levels   the major energy levels of an atom.  
🗑
energy sublevels   the energy levels contained within a principle energy level.  
🗑


   

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.
