Wavelength and Frequency of Visible Light Frequency in Terahertz (1THz = 10 12 Hz) and Wavelength in Nanometers (1nm = 10-9 meters)
Light Sometimes Behaves in Un-wavelike Ways The Photoelectric Effect Light shining on a metal surface can cause electrons to be separated from their atoms Below a threshold frequency no electrons are emitted however high the intensity At the threshold frequency electrons start to be emitted At higher frequencies electrons have additional kinetic energy Photoelectric Effect Demo
B. Energy and Light Dual nature of light Two co-existing models Wave Photon packet of energy
B. Energy and Light Different photons (from light of different wavelengths) carry different amounts of energy. Energy of photon = h.ν (h is Planck s Constant )
C. Emission of Energy by Atoms Atoms can give off light They first must receive energy and become excited. The energy is released in the form of a photon.

B. The Bohr Model of the Atom Bohr s model of the atom was not totally correct. Had difficulties with spectra of larger atoms Electrons do not move in a circular orbit and don t seem to behave like discrete particles all the time Maybe small particles, such as electrons, can also behave like waves having a dual nature (just like photons)?
