Unit 3 Review

Underlined – You Must Study

{} – Extra Notes I added :P

1. What does EMR stand for?

a. Electromagnetic Radiation

2. Define wavelength. What units can be used to measure wavelength? {There

will a question on this. Make sure you know what units too. }

a. Wavelength – distance between corresponding points on adjacent

waves (m, cm, nm)

3. Define frequency. What units can be used to measure frequency? {There

will be 2 questions on this}

a. Frequency – number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time

- 1 sec (hz)

4. What is the speed of light , c, equal to in a vacuum?

a. 3.00 x 108m/s

5. Write out the formula triangle for the speed of light. Using the triangle, what
is the equation for calculating the speed of light? What is the equation for
calculating the frequency of a wave? What is the equation for calculating the
wavelength of a wave? {Memorize all of the triangles, there’s at least 8
questions on them.}

6. Write out the formula triangle for calculating the energy of a photon. Using
the triangle, what is the equation for calculating the energy of a photon?
What is the equation for calculating the frequency?

7. Explain what inversely proportional means between frequency and

wavelength of a wave. Draw two waves depicting this relationship. {There
will one question on this. }
 i. λ ∝ 1/v – Inversely

1. In other words,
as the wave length of light decreases, its frequency
increases and vice versa (↓Wavelength; ↑Frequency)

8. Put the type of radiation in order of increasing frequency. {You must

memorize this!!! This will help you with at least 5 questions.}

a. Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-Ray, Gamma Ray

9. Which type of radiation is used to cure cancer? Which type of radiation is

used to see through human tissue? Which type of radiation is visible to the
human eye?

a. Gamma Rays; X-Rays; Visible Light

10.What is the difference between radio waves and gamma rays? What is
similar?

a. Gamma Rays – Higher Frequency; The both use speed of light

11.Define energy. What units can be used to measure energy?

a. The amount released or gained from one energy level to another {j,hz,
m/s}

12.Define photon.

a. a particle of electromagnetic radiation having no mass and carry a

quantum of energy

13.Define quantum.

a. the minimum energy that can be lost or gained by an atom

14.Define the photoelectric effect. Draw a picture of it. {You don’t need to
draw this. }

a. – the emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal

15.What is Planck’s constant equal to? Does it ever change?

a. 6.63 x 10-34; No

16.Explain what directly proportional means between frequency and energy.

a. As frequency increases, energy increases

17.Why are radiations with high energy and high frequency harmful to humans?
 a. It can damage humans, and give them cancer

18.What is a medium? Does light need a medium to travel? What about sound?

a. medium – what it can go through [air,water,glass]) ; Light- no; Sound -

yes

19.What is the difference between reflection and refraction when it comes to

light waves. Give an example. (Hint: Think of the pencil in the video).

a. Refraction - Bending of a wave when it passes from one medium into

another

b. Reflection – When a light wave hits a barrier and bounces back

20.What goes ROY G BIV stand for? (Hint: Visible Light)

a. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

21.What are the 4 quantum numbers? Explain what each one stands for. (Make
sure you know where each one is located on the periodic table.)

a. N – principal (Periods)

b. O - Orbital

c. M – magnetic

d. S – spin

22.What is resonance? (video sheet)

a. The emphasis of sound at a particular frequency

23.What is amplitude? (video sheet)

a. The maximum height of a wave crest or depth of a trough.

24.What happens when an election moves to an excited state of the atom?

Ground state?

a. Excited -> Ground (gives off energy); Ground -> Excited (Gets Energy)

25.Solve the following problem. (Show your work.)

a. A certain blue light has a wavelength of 685 nm. Calculate the

frequency of the blue light.

b. Using the information from the previous problem, calculate the energy
of a photon of the blue light.
 c. A radio station operates at 100.2 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of this
station. How much energy is given off?

d. A radio station gives off 7.82 x 1021 joules. Calculate the frequency.

26.For the following chemical symbols, give the orbital notation, complete
electron configuration notation, and the noble gas notation

27.What elements are represented by each of the following electron

configuration?

a. 1s2252p5 b. [Ar]4s2 c. [Xe]6s24f4 d. 1s2252p63s23p64s23d104p5

28.Give the quantum numbers for the following symbols:

a. Mn b. Kr c. P d. Zn e.Zr f.W

29.STUDY YOUR VIDEO SHEET!!!!

Remember your:

• Quantum Numbers

• Noble Gas Notation

• Electron Configuration

• How to relate frequency and wavelength with any electromagnetic

radiation

• Reflection / Refraction / Amplitude / Resonance

• Formula Triangle! – There’s like 4 multiple choice questions asking

for formulas

• Speed Of light

• You don’t really need to study ROY G BIV or your video sheet.

Here are the some of the questions:
