7.1 Light as waves and black body radiation
What properties are used to describe a wave?How are frequency, wavelength and speed of light related?What is electromagnetic radiation?
Maxwell (1873), proposed that visible light consists of electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic radiation is the emission and transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Speed of light (c) in vacuum = 3.00 x 108 m/s
All electromagnetic radiationλ x ν = c

7.2 The photoelectric effect – the duality of light
What is the photoelectric effect?How is this explained in terms of light as particles?In terms of particles, what is intensity?In terms of particles, how does increasing the frequency of the light affect the particles?
7.2 Photoelectric Effect
Figure 7.4, p. 218
If light is not composed of particles, then increasing the intensity of light (even of low frequency) should be able to eject an electron.
But it was observed that electrons ejected are dependent on the frequency of the light and not the intensity. Above a certain frequency (called the threshold frequency), as the intensity increases, the number of electron ejected increases.
7.2 Photoelectric Effect
When the photon has a frequency ≥ the energy holding the electron in the metal (the binding energy), the electron is ejected. Any additional energy of the photon (above this) can be given to the electron:
Ephoton = BE + KE
KE(ejected electron) = Ephoton – BE (or W)

In 1926 Schrödinger wrote an equation that described both the particle and wave nature of the e-
Wave function (Ψ) describes:
1. energy of e- with a given Ψ
2. probability of finding e- in a volume of space
Schrödinger’s equation can only be solved exactly for the hydrogen atom. Must approximate its solution for multi-electron systems.
7.5 Quantum mechanics
Atomic Orbitals
Figure 7.15, p. 231
What is a boundary surface diagram?
Quantum numbers (7.6) and atomic orbitals (7.7)
As we consider each quantum number, we will answer:
What is the symbol for the quantum number?What is the rule for which quantum numbers are allowed?What does the quantum number tell us about the atomic orbital or the electrons within these atomic orbitals?What differentiates the different energies of atomic orbitals (within one atom)?
