Document Summary
Ex. light from the sun, heat from microwave. Has wavelike behavior and travels at the speed of light (3. 0 x 108 m/s) Distance between 2 consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave: unit meter. Frequency that pass through a given point in space (unit s-1 or hz) Wavelength and frequency are related to each other with the speed of light . When the light sources recombine after passing through the slits o o. Waves interact with each other via interference. When a wave encounters a slit that is comparable in size to its length o. When passing through a slit, passed through a closely spaced slit, comparable to a wavelength a series of light and dark lines emerges. Energy occurs only in discrete units of size (hv) Energy can only be transferred in multiples of quantum: h = 6. 626 x 1023 j/s o o. Packets of energy carrying quanta of energy are called photons.
