12/13-20 Electromagnetic Spectrum

Front

According to the Bohr Model, electrons are only found in specific orbits around the nucleus called __________________________

Back

Energy Levels

Front

What happens when an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?

Back

Light will be absorbed.

Front

In which state does an electron have the least amount of energy?

Back

Ground state.

Front

Which wave in the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest wavelength?

Back

Radio waves.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the frequency of a photon?

Back

v = c/λ, where v is frequency, c is the speed of light, and λ is wavelength.

Front

What is the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 4.22x10^-7 nm?

Back

7.11x10^14 Hz.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Front

What type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Gamma rays.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

They are inversely related; as wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

Approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.
