1. Amplitude – the height of the wave measured from its origin to its peak or crest• The brightness or intensity of light is dependent
on this part of the wave.
2. Wavelength – the distance between successive crests• The distance traveled in a full cycle • Visual light has a range between 400 to 750 nm
(10-9)

a given time, usually 1 second) The unit is cycle/s or hertz (Hz) 1 Hz = 1 cycle/s

4. Speed – which is a constant value• Called “the speed of light” = 3/00 x 108 M/S.• This creates a direct relationship between
wavelength and frequency.• The shorter the distance, the greater the
oscillations.• The longer the distance, the fewer the
osscilations.

II. Quantum Theory B. Planck’s Theory
1. Max Planck theorized the spectrum of radiation emitted changes with temperature
2. Theorized energy emitted or absorbed is restricted to “pieces” of particular size”
3. Proposed – There is a fundamental restriction on the amounts of energy that an object emits or absorbs, which are called quantum ( meaning fixed amount) Derived from the concept of the relationship
between frequency (v) and the energy (E) with which it is associated
Plank determined the energy constant, known as Plank’s constant (h) with a value of 6.6262 x 10-34 J/s.

V. Electron Configurations
A. General Information1. Electron configuration is the distribution
of electrons among the orbitals of an atom
2. Electron configurations describe where the electrons are found and what energies they possess
3. Electron configurations of atoms are determined by distributing the atom’s electrons among levels, sublevels, and orbitals based on a set of stated principles.

of the orbitals within each principle energy level, the s-sublevel is the lowest level.
2. When electrons populate the lowest energy orbitals, they are in the ground state.

V. Electron Configurations
B. Determining Electron Configurations3. The electron locations can be predicted by
using the Aufbau principle, the Pauli Exclusion principle, and Hund’s Rule a. Aufbau – electrons are added one at a time, to the
lowest energy orbitals available• Until all electrons are accountable
b. Pauli Exclusion principle – An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
• To occupy the same orbital, the electrons must have opposite spins (called paired electrons)
c. Hund’s – Electrons occupy equal-energy orbitals so that a maximum number of unpaired electrons result.
