Atomic and Quantum Physics Concepts

Front

Atomic Emission Spectra

Back

The spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atom's electrons when they transition from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.

Front

Bohr Model

Back

A model of the atom in which electrons orbit the nucleus in distinct energy levels, with energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves between levels.

Front

Wave Speed

Back

The speed at which a wave propagates through a medium, calculated as the product of wavelength and frequency.

Front

Energy Calculation

Back

The process of determining the energy of a system or particle, often using formulas such as E=mc² or E=hf.

Front

Quantum Mechanic Model

Back

A fundamental theory in physics describing the properties of nature on an atomic scale, where particles exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.

Front

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Back

A fundamental theory in quantum mechanics stating that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of a particle.

Front

Photon

Back

A quantum of electromagnetic radiation, often described as a particle of light, which carries energy proportional to its frequency.

Front

Pauli Exclusion Principle

Back

A principle in quantum mechanics which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, thus occupying unique states.
