Document Summary

Electromagnetic radiation causes a transition to a higher state; the energy difference, de, provides information. The human eye has small, medium and large cones, which have color sensitivity as shown; combined, they can capture an infinite number of color nuances. Electromagnetic radiation can be described as a wave having wavelength, , frequency, , and velocity, c. Alternatively, it can be considered as a particle with energy, e. The various types of radiation differ in wavelength, , and frequency, ; the human eye can detect a narrow range of wavelengths and also distinguish between them (at least most of us). Electromagnetic radiation: light and other forms of radiant energy. Wavelength ( ): the distance between consecutive peaks on a wave. Frequency ( ): the number of full cycles of a wave that pass a given point in one second; the unit is hertz, hz; 1 hz = 1 s 1 (read per second ).

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
