|
Electromagnetic Spectrum
|
Range of wavelengths or frequencies over which EM radiation extends.
|
The EM spectrum includes visible light, radio waves and gamma waves.
|
|
|
Radiant energy
|
Energy being transferred between two objects by electromagnetic waves
|
An electron sent radiant energy to another
|
|
|
Probability
|
Mathematical expression of chance or odds
|
The probability was 50:50
|
|
|
Electron cloud
|
The space effectively occupied by an electron in an atom
|
Hydrogen atoms have a very small electron cloud
|
|
|
Emission Spectrum
|
A spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source.
|
Hydrogen atoms have small emission spectrums.
|
|
|
Quantum Mechanics
|
The law of mechanics concerning the interaction of matter and radiation at the atomic and subatomic level.
|
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena at nanoscopic scales.
|
|
|
Classical (Newtonian) Mechanics
|
Concerned with a set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the action of a system of forces
|
Classical mechanics is a major sub-field in physics, along with quantum mechanics.
|
|
|
Lewis Electron Dot Diagram
|
Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and its electrons
|
Lewis dot diagram of a hydrogen atom has 2 dots on it.
|
|
|
Momentum
|
Quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of mass and velocity.
|
The momentum of the boat was 4 N
|
|
|
Wave Particle Duality of Nature
|
The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike properties by a single entity. For example, electrons undergo diffraction and can interfere with each other as waves, but they also act as pointlike masses and electric charges.
|
Electrons can act like waves or particles, they have wave particle duality.
