Study Notes

Electromagnetic Radiation

Frequency of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 3.33 x 10^-8 m can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength
Speed of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 1.33 x 10^17 Hz and a wavelength of 2.25 nm is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

Photon Energy

Energy of a photon of red light with a frequency of 4.48 x 10^14 Hz can be calculated using the formula: energy = Planck's constant x frequency

History of Electromagnetic Waves

Visible light was proposed to consist of electromagnetic waves by James Clerk Maxwell

Quantum Mechanical Model

Max Planck proposed in 1900 that energy is emitted and absorbed by atoms and molecules in discrete packets (quanta)
Analysis of emitted light revealed that an element's chemical behavior is related to its atomic structure
Atoms are described in terms of their structure as having a small, dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by clouds of electrons
