This document covers concepts related to waves and electromagnetic radiation. It defines key terms like wavelength, frequency, and discusses the inverse relationship between them. It also outlines the electromagnetic spectrum in order of wavelength from gamma rays to radio waves. Specific wavelengths are given for colors of visible light. The document also discusses photon energy and Planck's constant, the photoelectric effect, and quantum mechanical concepts like quantized energy levels and the wave-particle duality of electrons and photons.

2. Top of the wave to the origin line
Carries the energy – does not impact either
frequency or wavelength
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

3. Distance between 2 successive peaks of 2
waves
Represented by the Greek letter (lambda)
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

4. Number of complete waves passing a fixed
point in a given time
Represented by the Greek letter (nu)
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

5. Radiant energy emitted across a wide
variety of wavelengths
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

6. 3 x 108 m/s
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

7. c= x
So c = wavelength times frequency
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

8. Inverse relationship – As one variable
increases, the other variable decreases

9. Red at 750 nm
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

10. Violet at 400 nm

11. Gamma Rays
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

12. Radio waves (specifically, AM radio)
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

13. Gamma Rays – X Rays – Ultraviolet
(UV) – Visible Light – Infrared (IR) –
Microwaves – Radio Waves
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

14. Gamma Rays – X Rays – Ultraviolet
(UV) – Visible Light – Infrared (IR) –
Microwaves – Radio Waves
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

15. ROYGBIV
Red – Orange – Yellow – Green – Blue
– Indigo - Violet
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

16. “Chunk” or fixed minimum amount of
energy absorbed or emitted
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

17. hc
E h
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

18. h = 6.6262 x 10-34 J∙s
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review – Period 7

19. Light consist of quanta called photons
that carries energy equal to h
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

20. Sunlight striking a sheet of metal will
knock off and move electrons, thereby
causing an electric current
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

21. Both electrons and photons
sometimes act as if they are particles
(mass) and sometimes act like they
are waves (energy) – Dual
wave/particle nature
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

22. Radiation composed of only one
wavelength
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

23. A spectrum
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

24. A spectrum of only certain
wavelengths – not all of them
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

25. Specific energy levels that electrons
existed in
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

26. When electrons are excited (added
energy), jump into higher energy
levels. When they moved back into
lower energy levels - gave off light.
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

27. No. They absorb and emit only a
quantum (fixed amount) of energy.

35. h Where v = velocity
mv
Chapter 6.1 - 6.4 Review

36. It is impossible to know the position,
direction, and speed of an electron at
any one point in time – can know two
variables, but not the third
