QUANTUM THEORY

Light and Electrons

Light; is it a wave or particle?

YES! Evidence for the Dual Nature of Light

Wave Properties of EMS

Velocity (v): wave speed, all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light (c = 3*108 m/s)

Frequency(): number of peaks or cycles in a second (1/s, s-1, Hz)

Wavelength (): distance between two equivalent points on consecutive waves (m, nm, cm, ...)

Amplitude(): height from peak to baseline (m, nm, cm, ...)

Types of Electromagnetic Radiation
