Wave-Particle Duality of Electromagnetic Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation, like light, can act as both a wave and a particle. This duality is crucial for understanding atomic behavior.

Thermal Radiation

The study of absorption and emission of radiation by heated objects, which helped shape our understanding of electromagnetic radiation.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The full range of electromagnetic radiation, from low-energy radio waves to high-energy gamma rays.

Atomic Spectra

A spectrum of colors produced when light from a heated element passes through a prism.

Rutherford's Atomic Model

Proposed by Rutherford, this atomic model depicts a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons orbiting it. However, it failed to explain the stability of atoms and their line spectra.

Bohr's Atomic Model

Developed by Bohr, this model explained the stability of atoms and their line spectra by proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels, with transitions between these levels leading to the emission or absorption of light.

Electron Energy Levels

Specific energy levels that electrons can occupy within an atom. Electrons can only exist in these discrete levels, not in between.

Electron Transition (Absorption)

The process where an electron absorbs a photon (light) and jumps from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.
