zA Z P
A = atomic mass
Z = atomic symbol
P = number of protons
Frequency (v)
Number of cycles per second (s-1)
Wavelength (λ)
Distance wave travels in 1 cycle (nm)
Amplitude
Height of crest of wave
Relationship between frequency and wavelength
Inversely proportional (small freq = big wavelength, big freq = small wavelength)
Rank electromagnetic spectrum from lowest energy (big wavelength) to high energy (small wavelength)
Which ER has longest wavelength (small freq)
Radio
Which ER has smallest wavelength (largest freq)
Gamma ray
Rank visible light from low energy (big wavelength) to high energy (small frequency)
Relationship between visible light and color
Amplitude determines brightness, frequency/wavelength determines color
Important equations (5)
Conversion of nm to m
nm x 1m/10^9nm
Conversion of m to nm

KE
Ephoton - Binding energy
Energy of electron
En = -2.179x10^-18 J (z^2/n^2)
Z is atomic number
n is orbital
Excitation
Energy is absorbed and electron gain enough energy to move to higher orbital
Relaxation
Energy emitted (released) and electron moves to lower orbital
Ground state
n=1 (lowest level)
Excited state
n >= 2 (higher level)
Difference in energy level
DeBroglie equation
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
States that we do not know the speed and position of particles with exact accuracy
