| Term | Definition |
| wavelength | decreases left to right, distance between 2 crests |
| energy | increases left to right |
| frequency | increases left to right, the number of waves that pass a particular point in an amount of time |
| frequency increases --> | wavelength decreases |
| excited electrons | emit light when they fall from higher energy levels to lower energy levels |
| ground state | the lowest energy level possible for an electron |
| visible light | can be seen by the eye |
| shortest wavelength | violet light, x-rays, gamma rays |
| longest wavelength | red light, AM radio waves |
| wavelength gets shorter--> | frequency gets higher (inverse relationship) |
| the speed of light | is the same for all colors of light |
| there are many... | different shades of each color |
| most energy | violet light |
| least energy | red light |
| wavelength decreases --> | energy increases (inverse relationship) |
| hydrogen emission spectra | 4 colors - red, blue-green, blue-violet, violet, cannot produce more than one color at once since it only has one electron |
| boron emission spectra | 5 colors - red, orange, blue-green, 2 blues, 3 violets |
| boron has different electrons than hydrogen, so | different shades are created |
| smallest wavelength--> | most energy |
| spectral lines | are different for each element and identify what the element is, much like fingerprints |
| electrons and protons | attract each other |
| as an electron gets closer to the nucleus, | the attraction gets stronger |
| when an electron moves from an energy level close to the nucleus to one far from it | the electron loses/absorbs energy & light |
| when an electron moves from an energy level far from the nucleus to one close to it | the electron gains/releases energy & light |
| excited states | higher energy levels |
| straight arrow in Bohr model | represents amount of energy put in |
| hydrogen electron transition with the UV range (10-400 nm) | 400 is smaller than violet 410 (smallest in hydrogen spectra), so smaller waves need to be produced which involves more energy, n=6-->n=1 (bigger arrow, more energy, shorter wavelength) |
