What is light?What is light? Light is obviously real - it is part of our
world. Darkness is the absence of light Light is NOT a solid, a liquid, or even a gas So what is it? It is a form of energy We call it a form of radiant energy
because it carries energy through space
Electromagnetic radiationElectromagnetic radiation Visible light is a type of electromagnetic
radiation Other types include: infra-red, ultra-violet,
X-rays, gamma rays, radar waves, microwaves, radio and TV waves
Electromagnetic radiation has wave like properties
WavesWaves
Wavelength (lamda) Frequency (nu) Speed c (see?) = c c = 3.00 108m/s for all
types of electromagnetic radiation.
So how is IR different from UV, for example?
Electromagnetic SpectrumElectromagnetic Spectrum Different types of electromagnetic
radiation have different wave lengths () and different frequencies ()
Frequency: number of cycles (vibrations) per second. Unit is second-1 or s-1. The Hertz is the SI unit for frequency.
82,000 s-1 is the same as 82 kHz (kiloHertz)

Max Planck and his Max Planck and his constant constant hh Suggested that
energy is quantized - comes in small chunks
E = h where n = 1, 2, 3
Compare the potential energy of a brick on a staircase to one on a slope
Can this be true?Can this be true? We do not find that energy is quantized in
everyday life - h is very small. Cannot see the difference between 200,000,000h and
200,000,001 h Einstein used Planck’s idea to explain the
photoelectric effect For electromagnetic radiation, E = h where is
the frequency of the radiation. High frequency more energy
What is light?What is light? When we look how light behaves in
experiments with lens, mirrors, etc., we are led to believe that light has wave properties
In the photoelectric effect, light appears to consist of particles - which we call photons
Dual nature of electromagnetic radiation
Bohr’s AtomBohr’s Atom Bohr said: if energy is quantized then the
energy of an electron in an atom is quantized
So the radius of its orbit cannot be any arbitrary value but must obey the quantum theory. Only certain orbits are allowed

Bohr’s Atom 1913Bohr’s Atom 1913 Electrons move in orbitals with specified
radii Each orbital is associated with a specific
energy This explains why atoms emit (or absorb)
light of well-defined frequency. Examples: the yellow sodium street light and the neon tube.
Wave BehaviourWave Behaviour Louis de Broglie (1892-1987): If light can
have both wave and particle behaviour, why not wave behaviour for all particles?

HeisenbergHeisenberg Postulated that there is a limit to how
precisely we can measure both position and momentum
The measurement effects the object being measured
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
Schrödinger’s wave Schrödinger’s wave equationequation In 1926, Schrödinger put de Broglie’s
and Heisenberg’s ideas together and came up with the wave equation

Quantum NumbersQuantum Numbers Schrödinger's wave equation has three
quantum numbers. Principal quantum number n. Has integer values 1,
2, 3 Azimuthal quantum number, l. Allowed values
values of 0, 1... up to n - 1 Magnetic quantum number, ml. Allowed values -l …
0 … +l There is also the Spin quantum number, ms. It
can have a value of -½ or +½
Atomic orbitalsAtomic orbitals The first shell n = 1 The shell nearest the nucleus l = 0 We call this the s subshell (l = 0) m = 0 There is one orbital in the subshell
s = -½ The orbital can hold two electronss = + ½ one with spin “up”, one “down”
No two electrons in an atom can have the same value for the four quantum numbers: Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
The second shellThe second shelln = 2 l = 0 or 1 There are two subshells
l = 1 The p subshellm = -1, 0, +1 Three orbitals in the subshells = -½ or + ½ Each orbital can hold 2 electrons.
p subshell can hold 6 electrons
l = 0 The s subshellm = 0 One orbital in the subshells = -½ or + ½ Subshell can hold two electrons
The second shell can hold 8 electrons:
2 in s orbitals and 6 in p orbitals
If the principal quantum number is n, the shell can hold up to 2n2 electrons
s Orbitals are Sphericals Orbitals are Spherical
p Orbitals are Dumbbell p Orbitals are Dumbbell ShapedShaped
d Orbitals are Complexd Orbitals are Complex
