Define Radiant Energy
Radiant energy is electromagnetic radiation
1 of 11
Define the Electromagnetic Spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of different kinds of electromagnetic radiation.
2 of 11
Define Frequency of a wave (v)
Frequency of a wave is the number of wave peaks that pass by a given point per unit time. Reciprocal units or Hertz Hz 1Hz=1s^-1
3 of 11
Define the wavelength of a wave (lamda)
Wavelength of a wave is the distance from one wave peak to the next.
4 of 11
Define the amplitude of a wave.
Amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave, measured from the center line between peak and trough.
5 of 11
Describe the photoelectric effect.
The photoelectric effect is the ejection of electrons from a metal on exposure to radiant energy.
6 of 11
Define photons.
Photons is the smallest amount possible of radiant energy.
7 of 11
State Planck's postulate.
The energy of one quantum is related to the frequency of an electromagnetic wave.
8 of 11
Define a quantum
A quantum is the smallest possible unit of a quantity.
9 of 11
Define quantized.
Quantized is changing only in discrete amounts.
10 of 11
Define a line spectrum
Line spectrum are the wavelengths of light emitted by an energetically excited atom.
