Study Notes

Waves

  • A wave is a disturbance that travels through space and matter, transferring energy, not matter.
  • Waves transfer energy.
  • Sound is an example of a wave that vibrates eardrums allowing us to hear.
  • Microwaves cook food.
  • Waves can be mechanical or electromagnetic.

Types of Waves

  • Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through (e.g., matter). Molecules in the medium collide and transfer energy.
  • Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum (empty space). They are generated by vibrating charged particles, traveling through electrical and magnetic fields.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

  • The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation.
  • The spectrum spans from radio waves to gamma rays.
  • Different types of electromagnetic radiation have different frequencies and wavelengths.
  • Wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship.
  • Higher frequency = shorter wavelength.
  • Lower frequency = longer wavelength
  • Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second (measured in Hertz)
  • Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points on consecutive waves (measured in meters).
  • The equation relating wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic waves is λv = c; c = speed of light.

Energy and Frequency

  • Energy and frequency have a direct relationship.
  • Higher frequency = higher energy
  • Lower frequency = lower energy
  • The amount of energy lost or gained by an atom depends on the energy of the light (photon)
  • Photons carry energy and travel as waves.
  • Light exhibits wave-like and particle-like properties.

Bohr Model

  • Bohr modified Rutherford's atomic model.
  • Electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus in energy levels.
  • Energy levels are related to absorption and emission of light.
  • Absorption: Electrons gain energy to move to higher energy levels.
  • Emission: Electrons lose energy to fall back to lower energy levels.

Visible Light Spectrum

  • Visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm.
  • Different wavelengths correspond to different colors
