Electromagnetic Spectrum
|
the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends.
|
The wavelengths include gamma rays.
|
|
Radiant energy
|
1.
energy transmitted in wave motion, especially electromagnetic wave motion. |
Radiant energy is in the form of light from the sun
|
|
Probability
|
MATHEMATICS
the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases possible. "the area under the curve represents probability" |
The probability of having a chemical reaction is low
|
|
Electron cloud
|
Electron cloud is an informal term in physics. It is used to describe where electrons are when they go around the nucleus of an atom. The electron cloud model is different from the older model by Niels Bohr.
|
The electron cloud was determined by Niels Bhor
|
|
Emission Spectrum
|
the continuous spectrum or pattern of bright lines or bands seen when the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a substance is passed into a spectrometer.
|
There are large variations of color in the spectrum
|
|
Quantum mechanics
|
the branch of mechanics that deals with the mathematical description of the motion and interaction of subatomic particles, incorporating the concepts of quantization of energy, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and the correspondence principle.
|
This is also known as quantum theory
|
|
Classical Newtonian mechanics
|
is concerned with the set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the action of a system of forces.
|
Based on Newtons law of motion
|
|
Lewis electron dot diagram
|
diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
|
Electrons surround the symbol
|
|
Momentum
|
1.
PHYSICS the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. |
You have more momentum going down hill
|
|
Wave-particle duality of nature
|
The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike properties by a single entity, as of both diffraction and linear propagation by light.
