Study Notes
States of Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and volume.
- It can exist in different states such as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- Plasma is a high-energy state of matter where atoms lose electrons and form ions.
- Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is a state of matter at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero.
- Neutron stars are the densest form of matter in the universe, formed from the collapse of massive stars.
Properties and Measurements
- Properties are classified as chemical or physical.
- Chemical properties change the substance's chemical identity, while physical properties do not.
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter, while intensive properties do not.
Temperature Measurement
- Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is.
- It is measured using thermometers and can be expressed in different scales like Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit.
- Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature.
- Absolute zero (0 K) is the theoretical point at which all particle motion stops.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electromagnetic radiation (EM) is composed of electric and magnetic components.
- Light is an example of electromagnetic radiation.
- Light behaves as both waves and particles (photons), possessing both wave and particle properties.
- Light waves travel at the highest known velocity of 300,000 kilometers per second.
Light Wave Characteristics
- Wavelength (λ): Distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
- Amplitude: Vertical distance between the midline and the peak or trough of a wave.
- Frequency (ν): Number of waves passing a point per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
- Wavenumber (ν̄): Number of waves per centimeter, expressed in cm⁻¹.
Relationships Between Wavelength, Frequency, and Wavenumber
- The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and wavenumber is given by the equation: c = λν, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum.
- The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.
- This relationship is described by the equation: E = hν = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant (6.625 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s).
