I. Parts of Light Light is a form of electromagnetic energy Acts as a wave that vibrates an electric and magnetic field Wave Has a wavelength, frequency and amplitude A. Wavelength λ Length of one complete vibration amplitude B. Frequency ν How often the wave vibrates Measured in cycles/sec Hertz (Hz) Wavelength is inversely related to the frequency s-1 c=λν c = speed of light (3 x 108 m/s) Almost never changes! λ = wavelength (m) ν = frequency in cycles/sec (s-1) What is the wavelength of light with a frequency of 1.23 x 1015 s-1? c=λν 3 x 108 m/s = λ (1.23 x 1015 s-1) λ = 2.43 x 10-7 m About 243 nm Determine the frequency of red light with a wavelength of 623 nm. (623 nm = 623 x 10-9 m) c=λν 3 x 108 m/s = (623 x 10-9 m) v v = 4.82 x 1014 s-1 C. Visible spectrum R O Y Long wavelength Low frequency G B I V Short wavelength High frequency II. Light as a Particle A. Max Planck Light is released in small units quanta Energy of these units is related to frequency of light E = energy of quantum (J) E = hv v = frequency (s-1) h = Planck’s constant (6.63 x 10-34 J-s) What is the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 236 nm? c=λν E=hv 3 x 108 m/s = 236 x 10-9 m (v) E = 6.63 x 10-34 J-s ( 1.27 x 1015) 15 -1 v = 1.27 x 10 sec E = 8.42 x 10-19 J B. Photoelectric Effect When light of a particular wavelength hits a metal, electrons are released from the metal eDifferent metals require different wavelengths Einstein believed that light acted as a particle photon The photon is the “packet of energy” described by Planck Photon gives all of its energy to the metal, (it disappears) which releases KE as the moving electron Energy of photon depends on the wavelength of light Ephoton = hv C. Matter Waves It is assumed that light can act as a wave or a particle Can a particle of matter act as a wave? De Broglie Moving matter can be shown to have wave properties (Shows diffraction and interference patterns like a wave) Can determine the wavelength of the moving matter λ=h mv m = mass in grams v = velocity (m/s)
