Document Summary
Wave-paricle duality of light: certain properies can be described by thinking of light as a wave, while other properies are best described by thinking of it as a paricle. Wave nature of light: electromagneic radiaion: a type of energy embodied in oscillaing electric and magneic ields. X-rays: used to image bones and internal organs. Ultraviolet: produced by the sun visible light: ranges from violet to red infrared: emited by warm objects. Ke (of ejected electron) =hv binding energy of electron. 3. 5 quantum mechanics and the atom orbital: a probability distribuion map showing where the electron is likely to be found. For a given value of n, l can be any integer up to n 1: magneic quantum number (ml): an integer that speciies the orientaion of an orbital. For a given value of l, ml can be any integer from l to +l: spin quantum number (ms): speciies the orientaion of the spin of an electron.
