Term
What is wavelength (λ)?
Definition
the distance between identical points on successive waves. (units = m or nm)
Term
What is amplitude?
Definition
the vertical distance from the midline of a wave to the peak or trough. (E = 1/λ)
Term
What is frequency (v)?
Definition

the number of waves that pass through a particular point in 1 second (Hz = 1 cycle/s = s-1)

(s-1 = 1/s)

Term
What is the speed of a wave (u)?
Definition
the product of the wavelength and frequency of the wave. (u = λv)
Term
What is the numeric value of the speed of light?
Definition

C = 3.00 x108m/s

or

3.00 x1017nm/s

Term
In the electromagnetic spectrum what is the order of radiation types from highest to lowest energy order?
Definition
Gamma rays, X rays, Ultra-violet, Infrared, Microwave, Radio waves
Term

Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the red light emitted by a barcode scanner that has a frequency of 4.62 x1014 Hz.

 

1Hz = 1s-1

Definition

C = λv

λ = C/v

λ = (3.00 x1017 nm/s / 4.62 x1014 s-1)

λ = 649nm

Term
What is Planck's quantum theory equation?
Definition

E = hv

E = energy of radiation (J)

h = Plancks constant (6.63 x10-34 J.s.)

v = frequency of radiation (s-1)

Term
What is Plancks constant?
Definition
6.63 x10-34 J.s.
Term
What is the equation for the photoelectric efffect?
Definition
E = hc/λ
Term
The energy required to dislodge electrons from sodium metal via the photoelectric effect is 275kJ/mol. What wavelength in nm of light has sufficient energy per photon to dislodge an electron from the surface of sodium?
Definition

The energy 275kJ/mol is for one mol of photons. To find the energy per photon, we must divide by avagadro's number

E = (275kJ/1mol) x (1mol/6.022 x1023photon) x (1000J/1kJ)

E = 4.567 x10-19 J/photon

E = hc/λ

λ = hc/E

λ = [(6.63 x10-34- J.s.) x (3.00 x1017 nm/s)] /

(4.567 x10-19 J)

λ = 436nm

Term

When copper is bombarded with high-energy electrons, X rays are elimited. Calculate the energy (in joules) associated with the photons if the wavelength of the X rays is 0.154nm.

Definition

E = hc/λ

E = [(6.63 x10-34 J.s.) x (3.00 x1017 nm/s)] / (.154nm)

E = 1.29 x10-15 J

Term
What is Bohr's equation?
Definition
E(n) = -RH(1/n2)
Term
The change in energy when an electron undergoes a transition from one energy level to another is given by what equation?
Definition

ΔE = -RH [(1/nf2) - (1/ni2)]

(RH = 2.18 x10-18 J)

Term

Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of a photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron drops from the

n = 5 state to the n = 3 state.

Definition

ΔE = -RH [(1/nf2) - (1/ni2)]

ΔE = -2.18 x10-18 J [(1/32) - (1/52)]

ΔE = -1.55 x10-19 J

E = hc/λ

λ = hc/E

λ = [(6.63 x10-34 J.s.) x (3.00 x1017 nm/s)] /

(1.55 x10-19 J)

λ = 1280nm

Term
What is the de Broglie equation?
Definition
λ = h/mv
Term

Calculate the wavelength of an electron traveling with a speed of 2.65 x106 m/s.

 

(mass of electron = 9.10939 x10-28 g)

(1J = 1kg m2/s2)

(h = 6.63 x10-34 J.s.)

Definition

λ = (6.63 x10-34 kg m2/s2 s) / [(9.10939 x10-31 kg) x (2.65 x106 m/s)]

λ = 2.74 x10-10 m

Term

Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of a H atom (mass = 1.674 x10-27 kg) moving at a speed of 7.00m/s

 

(1J = 1kg m2/s2)

Definition

λ = h/mv

λ = (6.63 x10-34 kg m2/s2 s) / [(1.674 x10-27 kg) x (7.00 m/s)]

λ = (5.66 x10-8 m) x (1 x109 nm/1m)

λ = 56.6nm

Term
What is the Heinsberg Uncertainty Principle?
