Structure of Atom — Flashcards

Answer

A rainbow shows seven colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. These colours form a continuous visible spectrum, with red having higher wavelength and violet having shorter wavel…

Answer

The speed of light is c = 3×10^8 m/s. Visible light is an electromagnetic wave, and this speed is used in the relation c = νλ.

Answer

They are related by c = νλ. Since c is constant, wavelength decreases when frequency increases, and wavelength increases when frequency decreases.

Answer

Using c = νλ, ν = c/λ = (3×10^8 m/s)/(1.0 m) = 3×10^8 s^-1. So the frequency is 3×10^8 Hz.

Answer

A vibrating electric charge creates a changing electric field, which creates a changing magnetic field. The electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave tr…

Answer

Spectrum is a group of wavelengths. In visible light, the spectrum includes the colours seen in a rainbow.

Answer

Each element emits its own characteristic colour when heated. These colours correspond to certain discrete wavelengths and form line spectra, which can be used to identify unknown atoms like fingerpri…

Answer

Cupric chloride produces a green colour flame, while strontium chloride produces a crimson red flame.
