|
Units of wavelength |
nm (meters x10^-9) |
|
Energy emitted by a photon/ a molr of photons |
ΔE= hf , ΔE= Lhf |
|
Dual nature of electronmagnetic radiation |
It is a wave but still exhibits particle like behaviour |
|
How to determine E in kJmol l^-1 |
E=Lhf/1000 , E=Lhc/1000λ |
|
What happens when energy is transfered to atoms |
Electrons within the atom may be promoted to hugger energy levels |
|
What happens when electrons return to their original energy levels |
Energy must be lost from the atom and the energy is released in thr form of a photon |
|
How can the quantity of elements present in a sample be calculated |
Using their atomic emission spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy |
|
How can the absoption spectrum be produced |
By measuribg how a samples transmission of light varies with wavelength |
|
What are high temperatures used for in emission spectroscopy |
To excite the electrons within atoms and as the electrons drop to lower energy levels, photons are emitted |
|
In atomic spectroscopy how is thr concentration of an element with a sample calculated |
By measuring the intensitt of light emitted or absorbed |
