Bell Work • On a half sheet of paper labeled Bell Work answer the following question. • Think about your weekend, what was one thing you did that involved chemistry?
Pre-Assessment • This is NOT for a grade. • Do not panic • This is strictly for me
What did the pictures have in common? • They are all forms of ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. • Form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space • Which means they all involve WAVES.
Activity: String waves • Hold the string on each end. • One group member needs to hold their end still, while the other moves the string. • Move the string at varying speeds, height, directions etc. • Observe what happens when you change the wave. • Draw 3 different waves on a sheet of notebook paper. Describe your waves by noting what was changed.

VOcab • Electromagnetic Radiation: form of energy that exhibits wave like behavior • Wavelength (λ): distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves. Expressed in distance units, Typically meters(m) • Frequency (ν): number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually 1 second. Expressed in waves per second or Hertz(Hz)
EXIT Slip • On a half sheet of paper labeled EXIT SLIP, sketch the following and answer the question. • Draw a wave that has high frequency and low amplitude. • How are frequency and wavelength related?
Bell Work • Answer question on a half sheet. • Turn to page 92 in your textbook • Refer to Figure 1.2 and answer the critical thinking questions • Be sure to explain your answers
Review • What is electromagnetic radiation? • What is wavelength? • What is frequency? • How are frequency and wavelength related to one another?
Electromagnetic Spectrum Activity • Working in groups, read the cards and determine where they may lay on the wave provided. • Place the cards along the spectrum. • When you are done, check your work with another group.
Research: visual light spectrum • Using a Chromebook, research the visual light spectrum. • Create a visual representation using color of the visual light spectrum on piece of notebook paper. • Label the wavelengths associated with each color. • You can work in group, but you each need your own paper.

If the wavelength increases and the frequency decreases, what sort of proportional relationship do these have? • Inversely proportional • Can we determine an equations that could be used to solve for each due to this type of proportional relationship? • The product of these two will be constant
The speed of Light • Represented by c • Equal to 3.0 x • Constant for all electromagnetic radiation
Applying Math • Since c is a constant and frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to one another, we can create the mathematical relationship of: C=λν Frequency Wavelength Speed of light
Units Speed of light: Wavelength: m or nm Frequency: s-1or Hz C=λν 3.0 x = m (waves/s or s-1or Hz) *note s-1 is equal to 1/s If you are given wavelength in nm, you have to convert to meters before solving.

Photoelectric Effect • Emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal • Discovered early 1900s • Involved the frequency of the light striking the metal • No electrons were emitted if the light’s frequency was below a certain minimum regardless of light’s intensity
Description of light • German physicist, Planck, studied the emission of light by hot objects • Proposed that hot object does not emit electromagnetic energy continuously, as expected • He suggested that objects emit energy in quantum, minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom
Quantum of Energy Frequency Energy E=hν Planck’s Constant 6.626 x J•s
Dual-Wave Particle • Einstein expanded on Planck’s theory by introducing that electromagnetic radiation has DUAL WAVE-PARTICLE nature. • Thought of light as a stream of particles • Particles called PHOTONS: particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy • Proposed that electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by matter in whole numbers of photons • Electron must be struck by a single photon possessing at least the minimum energy required to knock the electron loose. • Different metals require different amounts of energy
Energy of a Photon Frequency Energy of photon E(photon)=hν Planck’s Constant 6.626 x J•s The minimum energy corresponds to the minimum frequency. If the frequency is below the minimum, the electron will remain bound to the metal surface.

Electrons exist in two states • Ground State: lowest energy state of an atom • Excited State: state in which an atom has a higher potential energy that its ground state
Continuous Spectrum • It was expected that no matter what amount of energy was added to atom, it would become excited. • Continuous Spectrum: continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation • However, it was found that when an atom fell to its ground state or to a lower-energy level than the excited state, it emitted a photon. • This energy is equal to the difference in energy between the atom’s initial state and its final state.
White light through a prism • White light is a combination of ALL colors in the visual light spectrum • When passed through a prism, the colors are separated into color bands
Identifying elements • When a light is not white, it will show different results. • By heating a gas with electricity, it gives off colors and by passing this light through a prism, we can identify unknowns • Just like we talked about earlier, each element is unique and will show their own bands when passed through a prism (emission-line spectrum)
Bohr’s Model of the Hydrogen atom • Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, proposed a hydrogen-atom model that linked the atom’s electron cloud to photon emission • Electrons circle the nucleus only in allowed paths or orbits • When in these orbits, the atom has a definite, fixed energy. • The closer to the nucleus, the lower the energy
Bohr’s Model • Just like the rungs of a ladder, you can calculate your potential energy when standing on the first, second, third, and so on rung. • However, you can’t just float in mid-air so neither can the electrons. They have to be on a path. • Unlike a ladder though, levels are not evenly spaced. Higher energy levels are closer together.
Bohr Model • Emission: when an electron falls from the excited state to a lower energy level, a photon is emitted • Taking a step down the ladder • Absorption: when an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level • Stepping up a rung on the ladder
Changing the energy • What things can change the energy of an electron and move it to a higher energy level? • Heat, electricity, light • Electron becomes excited
Changing Energy • What does an atom give off when it falls to a lower energy state? • Light • Each step has a different energy • The further they fall, more energy is released and the higher the frequency.
