Maxwell (1860) - all energy radiated from objects (including visible light) is electromagnetic radiation. Composed of radiated waves of both electrical and magnetic energy.
Wavelength(λ - “lambda”): distance from point to the same point on the next wave. Frequency(ν – “nu” or ƒ): number of wavelengths, or cycles, that pass a point per unit time. Frequency measured in cycles per second (s-1), or the SI unit hertz (Hz) Amplitude: height of the wave from origin to crest. Wavelength and frequency do not affect amplitude Wavelength and frequency are inversely related
Types of Electromagnetic radiation f and λ determine what you see or hear, amplitude determines how loud or bright
All EMRradiates at 3.00 x 108 m/s in a vacuum. This universal value (c) is a product of the wavelength and frequency of the radiated energy. “speed of light” c = λƒ c = λν
Sunlight (white light) shone through a prism separates into a continuousspectrum of colours. Each colour represents light of a different frequency – increasing frequency - ROYGBIV
Planck(1900) Elements give off a unique colour of light when burned - used to detect the presence of a metal This is known as a If the light emitted is focused through a prism, a spectrum with distinctlinesis produced.
Energy emitted by a heated element can be separated – producing emission spectrum. (line spectrum)
C O The colored lines of the atoms (or Spectral Lines) are a kind of "signature" for the atoms.
Spectroscopy and spectrophotometry are techniques used to determine a substance’s emission spectrum
Planck's law: postulated that energy can only be gained or lost in discrete amounts – quanta. Quantum is the minimum amount of energy gained or lost by an atom. Energy contained in a quantum was directly related to the frequency of radiation emitted. E = hf
E = hf E – energy of a quantum (Joules) h – Plank’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s) f – frequency of absorbed or emitted EMR
