Light is a form of electromagnetic energy that comes from electrons in atoms The human eye can only detect a certain range of that energy: the visible spectrum.

Analyzing starlight with a prism (one of the first spectrometers) White light from a lamp or the sun is not truly white!
Visible light is only a small range in the electromagnetic spectrum
Energy of a photon Remember that light travels as bundles called photons A very small unit of energy 1 electron volt (eV) = 1.602 x 10–19 J.
The wavelength of red laser light is 652 nm. What is its frequency? How much energy does a photon of this light have in electron volts?

The wavelength of red laser light is 652 nm. What is its frequency? How much energy does a photon of this light have in electron volts? Asked: Frequency and energy Given: Relationships: Solve: Answer:Since 1 Hz = 1/s, the frequency is 4.6 x 1014 Hz and the energy is 1.9 eV.
Light from an incandescent light bulb: prism all possible energy levels electron
Light from pure hydrogen: prism fixed energy levels electron
Hydrogen atoms can only absorb and emit light of very specific energies.
Matter and light Why does the atom absorb only specific (discrete) energies?
Matter and light Why does the atom absorb only specific (discrete) energies? Remember: only some energy levels are allowed.
Matter and light Energy levels Energy levels Photon (energy) Energy of the photon matches a gap between levels Energy of the photon does not match a gap between levels Energy (light) passes through the atom. Energy (light) is absorbed.
Matter and light Energy levels Photon (energy) another photon is emitted Energy of the photon matches a gap between levels specific color (wavelength) Energy (light) is absorbed.
Each type of atom has a different electron structure. Each element has unique energy levels like afingerprint.
How to read the spectrum cards Spectrum cards
Spectrum cards Combinations of elements contain spectral lines from both.
Reemission of light has two steps: Energy levels Photon (energy) Photon absorbed Photon emitted Energy of the photon matches a gap between levels
Range of energies Emission spectrum Energy levels Photon (energy) Absorption spectrum
Visible light is only a small range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
