1. Spectroscopy

2. LEQs: What is the relationship between the types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum and their frequency and wavelength? How does energy change impact the transition of electrons between energy levels?

3. Emission/absorption of energy by electrons Absorb: move from lower to higher energy level Emission: move from higher to lower energy level Uses: Fireworks, Astronomy

4. Equations: E=hv E: energy---measured in Joules(J) h: Planck’s constant 6.626 x 10 -34 v: frequency—measured in Hertz (Hz)

5. c=λ v c: speed of light: 3.00 x 10 8 m/s λ: wavelength: measured in meters (m) v: frequency

6. Ex: What is the energy content of a photon of light with a frequency of 5.3 x 10 14 Hz?

7. EX: What is the frequency of a photon of light with a wavelength of 450 nm?

8. Ex: What is the energy content of a photon with a wavelength of 6.2 x 10 -7 m?
