CHM 1045 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Electromagnetic Spectrum, Bohr Model, Rutherford Model
Document Summary
The _____ of a wave is the number of wave cycles per second. This quantity is given the symbol (cid:448) a(cid:374)d has s o(cid:396) ____. The distance a wave travel during one cycle is called its _____. This is usually measured as the distance between two _______ or two troughs. The speed of a wave is determined by multiplying the ______ of the wave by its wavelength. In a vacuum all electromagnetic radiation travels at a constant speed, the speed of ________. The height of each crest or depth of each trough. All waves in the spectrum travel at the same speed in a vacuum. The color of visible light is related to its frequency. Diffraction is the apparent bending of light around the edge of an object in its path. Any two waves that meet as they travel through the same medium will interact.
