Light as a Wave
• Waves are traveling disturbances that carry energy from one place to another
• The speed of a wave is calculated by using the equation:
V = f · λ
Speed = frequency x wavelength
Light as a Wave
• The speed of light is always 3 x 108 m/s
• 300,000,000 m/s• This means that
frequency and wavelength of light waves have an inverse relationship.

Light as a Wave
Light as a Particle
• Planck’s Theory• Energy that is
absorbed or emitted by an object is restricted to “pieces” (quanta) of energy.

Light as a Particle
• Planck’s Equation:
E = h · v
Energy = Planck’s Constant x frequency
Planck’s Constant = 6.6261 x 10-34 J-s
Light as a Particle
• Photoelectric Effect• Some colors of
light can cause electrons to eject from the surface of metals.
• Einstein - light exists as photons that carried energy according to Planck’s equation

Light & The Bohr Model• When certain
elements are “burned” or electricity is passed through them they create specific colors.
• Atoms must absorb energy and then release it in the form of light.Click here for a flame test video

Light & The Bohr Model
• When the light from these tests is passed through a spectrum, only certain colors appear in the emission line spectrum.
Light & The Bohr Model
• When electrons absorbed energy they would change “orbits” (n=1 to n=2)
• When the electrons “fell” back to their original orbit, they released the energy as light.

Light & The Bohr Model
• This only worked for Hydrogen!
• It cannot effectively predict atoms with more electrons.
