LOOK UP
Term
Photon
Definition
particle nature of light; quantum of EM radition
packet or bundle of energy
Term
frequency
Definition
peaks or troughts at given point, hertz per second
Term
light equation
Definition
C= wavelength *frequency

Term
niels bohr
Definition
electron in hydrogen atom set of energy levels called orbitals. excited state to ground state releases energy as photon light.
Term
energy differenc btw high and low is large
Definition
short wavelength and high energy
Term
energy difference btw high and low is small
Definition
long wavelength and low energy
Term
memorize this statement
Definition
restricting the energies of electrons in the hydrogen atom is a form of quantization
Term
hisenberg's uncertainty principle
