Atomic Structure and Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

Question 1

What equation links the speed of light, wavelength and frequency?

Answer 1

c = 𝜈𝜆

c = Speed of Light
𝜈 = Frequency
𝜆 = Wavelength

Question 2

What are photons?

Answer 2

Electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed in quanta of radiation as a stream of particles

Question 3

What equation links the energy of a photon, Planck’s constant and frequency?

Answer 3

E = h𝜈

E = Total energy of the system
h = Planck’s Constant
𝜈 = Frequency of visible light
