Light Discussion Questions • What is light? • Is light matter? • Are there different kinds of light? If so, what are they? • What is the same about those kinds of light? What is the difference between those kinds of light? • You may have heard about light waves. What other waves do you know about? • What do all these waves have in common? What is different about them? • You may have heard of the speed of light; It’s pretty darned fast. Do different kinds of light travel at the same speed or different speeds? • What are some questions about light that you have? List them on your index card.

Today is Monday, 3/18 • Light Equations 1 & 2 • Trade & Talk • x2 examples of combined Light Equations • Tomorrow’s info • Photons!! • Absorption / Emission
I CAN… • solve for any variable in the combined light equation • Explain how light acts as a particle (photon) and also has wave properties • explain how we perceive frequency and amplitude • understand how energy is absorbed and emitted as light • identify different frequency types of light
Example problem using BOTH Equations… Find the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1.0 x 10-3 nm. c = λv E = hv • GIVEN: h = 6.626 x 10-34 J s c = 3.00 x 108 m/s • = ? • E = ? = 1.0 x 10-3 nm = ???? m WORK: = c = 3.00 108 m/s 1.0 x 10-12 m = 3.0 x 1020 s-1 E= (6.626 x 10-34 J s)(3.0 x 1020s-1) E = 2.0x 10-13 J
Example problem using BOTH Equations… Find the wavelength of a photon with an energy of :6.2x 10-10 J. c = λv E = hv WORK: = c • GIVEN: h = 6.626 x 10-34 J s c = 2.998 x 108 m/s = ? • = ? • E = 6.2 x 10-10 J = 6.2 x 10-10 J 6.626 x 10-34m = 9.356 x 1023 s-1 λ = 2.998 x 108 m/s 9.356 x 1023 s-1 λ = 3.20 x 10-16 m
Energy of Waves – It takes more energy to travel at a higher frequency… Amplitude Low frequency Low frequency, long wavelength short wavelength l Amplitude High frequency, short wavelength

Vocabulary of a Wave Frequency (Hz or s-1) ? l Wavelength (m or nm) A Amplitude (m) c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10 8 m/s (really fast, true for every kind of light!) Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry2002, page 324
Photons • Amplitude – The ‘height’ of a wave; We perceive it as intensity • Photon • a particle light that carries a quantum of energy with the lowest detectable amplitude • More photons means more intensity! • Different photons have different energies

Absorption / Emission • Energy absorption – Energy is absorbed into an atom, exciting an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level • Energy emission – Energy is released as a light photon when the electron relaxes back to it’s ground state (or lowest energy level) • Bohr model of the atom explains how this works

Pre-Lab! • Flame test lab tomorrow • You will be testing the type of light emission for different metal cations • It’s super fun! • Then you will quantify (code for calculate..) the emissions!
Types of A / E • Types of energy absorption: • Electricity (electric energy) • Photons (light energy) • Infrared (heat energy) • Some types of light energy emission: • Fluoresence via UV absorption (demo) • Infrared (demo) • Visible – different colors (demo) • Incandescenct lights (demo) • Fluoresenct lights
Types of absorption • Electric energy – electricity, this is how your light bulbs get the energy to emit light energy in the form of photons • Infrared energy – heat, this is how you will get the metal cations in lab tomorrow to emit light energy • Photons – light energy can be absorbed and immediately emitted by materials to be perceived as a certain color • For example, my green shirt absorbs all types of photons but green photons, it immediately re-emits and therefore you and I perceive the shirt to be green
Types of Emission • Fluoresence– fluoresence happens when an atom absorbs a high energy light photon and emits a lower energy photon • i.e. When UV light is absorbed and visible light is emitted! • Infrared – heat lamp emits both infrared photons and visible light photons, which has higher energy? • Visible – Many metal cations absorb and emit visible light photons • What about the ones that don’t, are they emitting anything?
