Using notes from [[Light is Energy]], [[Light as a Wave]], ElectromagneticSpectrumPicture and [[Light as a Particle]] (all not mathematical), answer the following questions.<br> <br> 1) A wave characteristic is wavelength and frequency. Define each and give the most common units these characteristics are measured in.<br> <br> <br> 2) Are frequency and wavelength DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY proportional to each other. Mathematically, how do you explain this (hint, think math equation).<br> <br> <br> 3) Certain waves can have various speeds (i.e. water waves) but light has one speed called the speed of light (symbol is "c"). What is the value of c ?<Br> <br> <br> 4) Using your Electromagnetic Spectrum chart, what is the name of the region of Spectrum that is just higher wavelength than Red (at 700.nm)?____________________________. What is its common name: ________.<br> <br> <br> 5) What is the acronym to remember all the colors of the rainbow in the correct order. ____________<br> What is the wavelength for violet (in nm) ?________________________<br> <br> <br> 6) What is region of the Spectrum called that is just lower than violet's wavelength? _____________<br> <br> <br> 7) What was the name of the scientist most known for believing that light acts like a particle (he called those discrete energy packets, quanta)? _______________________<br> <br> <br> 8) How did Planck (and others that believed energy acted like a particle) relate energy packet size to frequency of the energy (DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY). How do you explain this (hint, think math equation) and what is Planck's constant (h). <br> <br> <br> 9) Knowing the relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f) and relationship between frequency (f) and energy (E), then what is the relationship between Energy (E) and wavelength (λ)?<br> <br> 10) Knowing the answer from Question 9, which of the two ends of visible spectrum (Red end or Violet end) has the greater energy packet sizes?<br> <br> <br>
