Electromagnetic Spectrum

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

What is the formula to calculate frequency from wavelength?

Back

v = c / λ, where v is frequency, c is the speed of light (approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.

Front

What is a photon?

Back

A photon is a packet of electromagnetic energy.

Front

What are energy levels in the Bohr model?

Back

Energy levels are specific orbits around the nucleus where electrons are found.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as wavelength increases, frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What color of light corresponds to a wavelength of approximately 5.93 x 10^-7 m?

Back

Green.

Front

What is the amplitude of a wave?

Back

The amplitude is the maximum distance from the rest position to the crest or trough of the wave.

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave?

Back

The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 4.22 x 10^-7 nm?

Back

7.11 x 10^14 Hz.
