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
