Document Summary

Wavelength the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. Frequency the number of waves per second that pass a given point in space. Cycles is a common word to explain the pattern of light: cycles/sec = hertz. Dual nature of light light has both the characteristics of a wave and a particle. Important study was when a high energy discharge is passed through hydrogen gas and the gas absorbed the energy causing some of the h-h bonds to break. Hydrogen molecules are now excited and release their energy by emitting light to produce an emission spectrum. Continuous spectrum the spectrum that occurs when white light passes through a prism and contains all of the colors. Hydrogen emission spectrum does not include all of the colors only some lines creating a line spectrum. Line spectrum demonstrates the wavelengths in the light as lines of color with each line matching a specific wavelength.

LIGHT LAB SPRING 2018 CHEM 1430 Ill. Quantization of Electromagnetic Radiation In 1894, the German physidist, Max Plank, was working for a utility company to maximize visible light output from incandescent lamps using minimum power. Based on theoretical considerations, Planck postulated that electromagnetic energy could only be emitted at discrete values, rather than the continuum of predicted by classical physics, as multiples of the frequency of the radiation. Planck's Postulate took the mathematical form: EÂ·hv where the energy emitted, in Joules, is the product of a constant, h, known as Planck's Constant, and the frequency of the radiation, v. Planck's Postulate was experimentally verified and h found to have the value of 6.626 x 1034 Js(Joule seconds). The idea that electromagnetic radiation energy had specific frequency dependent energy was termed a "quantum of action," a distressing finding for the dlassically trained Planck. Despite his objections, Planck adopted this quantization of energy as a last resort to reconcile experiment with theory. This discovery set the stage for the early understanding of atomic structure, led to the term "photon" to describe the packet of energy carried by light waves, led to an understanding of the photoelectric effect, eventually leading to the development of general quantum theory Planck's Relationship, in combination with the tight equation, c the energy of a photon from frequency or wavelength.

Bohr's Quantum Model for the Hydrogen Atom Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment of 1911 demonstrated the nuclear structure of the atom. Questions remained as to how electrons were arranged in the atom. The most common belief called for the negatively charged the late 19h century recognized a particle (an electron) traveling around a body (the positively charged nucleus) would continuously radiate energy, slowing over time, eventually falling into the nucleus. Matter would collapse. Page 8 of 12
