ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION Is a type of energy form that Exhibits wavelike behavior As it travels through space gamma X-ray Ultraviolet Curie visible infrared micro Einstein radio Planck de Brogelie
Excited State = High energy level Ground State = Lowest energy level
Characteristics Crest Trough
Electromagnetic Spectrum - is all the forms of electromagnetic radiation put together. Slide 17
Characteristics Wavelength Distance between two peaks or troughs lambda λ Frequency Number of waves per second nu ν Speed of light, c 3.0 X 108 m/s
Electromagnetic Calculations • E=energy (Joules, J) • c=speed of light 3.0*108m/s • h=Plank’s Constant 6.626*10-34Js • n=frequency (1/s or Hertz, Hz) • l=wavelength (m) E=hn c=ln
1 m= 109 nm or 10-9m = 1nm Relationship Speed of light = (Wavelength)(Frequency) The brilliant red colors seen in fireworks are due to the emission of light with wavelength around 650 nm when strontium salts are heated. Calculate the frequency of red light. l=650nm = 650*10-9 m c=3.0*108 m/s c=ln n=c/l n=3.0*108m/s/ 650*10-9 m n=4.62*1014 1/s
Energy is quantized Energy is gained or lost in whole number ratios E= hn h=6.626 X 10-34 J . s Calculate the smallest increment of energy than an object can absorb from yellow light whose wavelength is 589 nm. l=589nm = 589*10-9 m c=3.0*108 m/s c=ln n=c/l n=3.0*108 m/s/ 589*10-9 m n=5.09*1014 1/s h=6.626*10-34 Js n=5.09*1014 1/s E=hn E=(6.626*10-34 Js)(5.09*1014 1/s) E=3.37*10-19J
Types of Spectra Continuous Spectra All the colors of the rainbow Bright line spectra Only certain colors depends on electron motion
