Document Summary

Ch 3. 2: the nature of light ch 3. 4: debroglie wavelength ch 3. 5+3. 6: quantum numbers and. A cycles is where a wave starts to repeat itself. Now this unit is called hz or s-1. Light can behave as a particle, light may come in as a wave but when it interact with something like an electron in transforms into a tiny little marble of energy what we call a photon. It will then kick the electron out of the atom, just kick a ball coming in and knocking the ball somewhere else. In this case the photon is absorbed and the electron moves away. Light starts as a wave but once it interacts with matter it transforms itself into a little particle of energy. This particle known as a photon has an energy that can be calculated by multiplying a constant by the frequency of this wave.
