Document Summary

Frequency: chapter 7-quantum theory and atomic structure, the nature of light wave/particle properties, atomic spectra. Watch the units that you end up with for the answer: classical distinction between energy and matter, light of a given thing travels at different speeds through different transparent media. Vacuum, air, water etc: when light passes from one medium to another, the speed of the waves change, refraction the direction change when light moves to another medium (the bending of light) The: dispersion when white light separates (disperses) into its component colors, as when it pass through a prism, because each incoming beam is refracted at a slightly different angle. Interference when waves interact with each other (can be constructive or destructive) 2: particle nature of light, blackbody radiation (& quantization of energy) the changes in intensity and frequency of emitted light as an object is heated. Hot glowing objects can only emit or absorb certain quantities of energy.
