CHEM 1070 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Effective Nuclear Charge, Cartesian Coordinate System, Bohr Radius
Document Summary
8-1 electromagnetic radiation magnetic fields are propagated as waves through empty space ora medium. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy transmission in which electric and. ) is a disturbance that transmits energy through space or a material medium. Amplitude is the maximum height of the wave above the center line or the maximum. Wavelength is the distance between two crests. Frequency ( v ) , denoted by nu", is the number of crests that pass through a given point depth below per unit of time. Hertz (hz) is the si unit for frequency. The speed of light c" is 2. 998 108. Constructive interference is when the waves are in phase, and they produce higher crests. Deconstructive interference is when the waves are out of phase, and they cancel each other out. Diffraction is the dispersion of different wavelength components of a light beam through the interference produced by reflection from a grooved surface.
