Document Summary
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behaviour as it travels through space. Wavelength is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point per second. Amplitude is the waves height from the origin to the crest. Equation of frequency and wavelength: c = 6. 626x10-34 m/s. The relationship between frequency and wavelength is that they are inverse. The relationship between energy and frequency (?) The relationship between energy and wavelength (?) Lowest to highest frequency and longest to shortest. Radio microwave infrared ultraviolet x ray gamma ray. Light is like a particle and a wave (?) Quantum is the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom. Max planck came up with the quantum theory. The photoelectric effect is electrons are emitted from solids, liquids or gases when they absorb energy from light.
