Wave Properties and Energy Concepts

Front

As the frequency of light increases, what happens to the energy?

Back

The energy increases.

Front

How many 2d orbitals are there in the second energy level?

Back

0, zero.

Front

What are the outer shell electrons used to draw the dots around an atom called?

Back

Valence electrons.

Front

What is the term for the emission of electrons by certain metals when light is shined on them?

Back

Photoelectric effect.

Front

What are the regions of space where electrons have a high probability of being located called?

Back

Orbitals.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in waves?

Back

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Front

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

Back

E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.

Front

What is the principle of superposition in wave theory?

Back

When two or more waves overlap, the resulting wave is the sum of the individual waves.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel.

Front

What is the Doppler effect?

Back

The change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the wave source.
