What are some features of the absorption spectra?
Black lines on a multicoloured background. These black lines are the missing frequencies of light that have been absorbed by particles.
2 of 12
What are some features of the emission spectra?
Coloured lines on a black background. The coloured lines corrospond the emitted photon.

What is the continuous and atomic spectra?
Continuous spectra is when wavelength os light passes uninterrupted, like a rainbow. Atomic spectra is the specific frequencies of light absorbed or emitted.

What is the Balmer series?
The hydrogen emission spectrum in visible light.

What is the Lyman series?
The hydrogen emission spectrum in unltraviolet light.

What is spectroscopy?
The study of the interaction of light and matter.
7 of 12
What theory describes the behaviour of light?
Wave- particle duality
8 of 12
What are the features of light?
Wavelength and frequency. As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
9 of 12
State the equation used to calculate the speed of light.
Speed of light = wavelength x frequency

What is the particle theory of light?
This is the idea that like behaves like a particle meaning it regards it as packets of energy called photons.

What is the equation linking the wave and photon models of light?
Energy of photon = plancks constant x frequency
