Document Summary

Also called the electromagnetic wave theory of light. light is a type of em energy and has wave properties. Light from the sun is made up of all forms of em radiations (spectrum) from very short wavelength (gamma) to ordinary visible light to very long wavelength radio waves. 8 m/s where is the wavelength of light. = the frequency of light c = the speed of light. Frequency (or wavelength) determines the type of radiation. When light or em radiation is projected on a metal, electrons are liberated from the metal surface and a small current is recorded in the circuit. This e ect is used in solar cells and x ray imaging. According to the classical theory the brighter the light, the greater the energy of the electrons ejected. However the frequency/energy of light rather than brightness was found to be controlling the energy of the electron produced. Max planck (1900) hypothesized that energy (light) is not continuous.

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
