Electromagnetic radiation is a kind of
Energy
that behaves like a(n)
Wave
is one type of electromagnetic radiation. Other examples include X rays, radio waves, and microwaves. All waves can be characterized by their wavelength, amplitude, frequency,
Speed
The shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave is called a(n)
wavelength
The height of a wave from the origin to a crest or from the origin to a trough is the
amplitude
is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second
Frequency
Wavelength is measured in
Meters
That has the symbol?
M
We measure frequency in
Hertz
That has the symbol
Hz
A(n) is the minimum amount of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom.
quantum
The is the phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a metal’s surface when light of a certain frequency shines on it.
photoelectric effect
When an atom emits light, photons having certain specific energies are being emitted.
True
A flame test cannot be used to identify the presence of certain elements in a compound.
False
The fact that only certain colors appear in an element’s atomic emission spectrum indicates that only certain frequencies of light are emitted
True
Atomic emission spectra can be explained by the particle model of light.
False
The neon atoms in a neon sign emit their characteristic color of light as they release energy
True
Like the visible spectrum, an atomic emission spectrum is a continuous range of colors.
False
When an atom emits light, photons having certain specific energies are being emitted.
True
Each element does not have a unique atomic emission spectrum.
False
There are three main classifications of elements.
True
There are three main classifications of elements.
True
Group 7A elements are highly reactive nonmetals known as noble gases.
False
Group 4A elements are the alkaline earth metals.
False
