(a)  

12.

Light is...

(a)  

13.

Wavelength is measured in...

(a)  

16.

Violet represents the...

(a)  

17.

red represents the...

(a)  

18.

(a)  

19.

Shortest waves below the color violet are...

(a)  

20.

(a)  

21.

(a)  

22.

Longest waves have the...

(a)  

23.

(a)  

24.

What's the equation describing the relationship between nu and lambda and the speed of the wave?

(a)  

25.

What is the speed constant?

(a)  

26.

What was the purpose of the Rydberg-Balmer equation?

(a)  

27.

What's the equation for predicting the wavelength of light produced by an electron travelling between atomic energy levels?

(a)  

28.

What did Max Planck suggest regarding energy?

(a)  

29.

What did Planck's "quanta" relate?

(a)  

30.

the energy that you were absorbing or giving off was...

(a)  

31.

breakdown E=h𝛎

(a)  

32.

What is Planck's constant

(a)  

33.

What was the weird thing about the way light was acting that threw off classic physicists?

(a)  

34.

The photoelectric effect occurs when...

(a)  

35.

What was the weird thing about the way photoelectrons were acting that threw off classic physicists?

a)

Classic physicists thought that the effect took place with intense light of lower frequency but it actually occurred under a minimum frequency cutoff.

b)

When the light was above the minimum frequency cutoff, the energy of the electrons increased but the number of electrons ejected did not.

c)

there was a balance between intensity, brightness, and frequency

d)

As you go higher up in frequency, you don't get more electrons. You get the same amount of electrons but with higher energies. (fly off surface faster.)

36.

39.

Because the atom can only interact with one photon at a time...

(a)  

40.

(a)  

41.

Was DeBroglie's arguement correct?

(a)  

42.

What's the fancy name for particles acting like waves and the inverse?

(a)  

43.

An electron moving in a circle around a...will...

(a)  

44.
