7.2 The Nature of Light

  1. The wave model of light ( Internet © Saunders, 1997) Figure 7.1 & 7.2
    1. Wave model of light ([lambda]*v = c)
    2. [lambda] = wavelength (meter, nm, etc.)
    3. v = frequency (Hz or sec-1)
    4. c = speed of light (3.0 * 108 m sec-1)

  2. Planck, Blackbody Radiation & the Particle model of light ( Internet © Saunders, 1997)
    1. E = hv
    2. E = energy of a single photon
    3. h = Planck's Constant (6.6 * 10-34 J s per photon)
    4. v = frequency (Hz or sec-1)
