There have been two models of light. What are they and who first
supported each? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Particle: Newton and wave: Huygens
(1600s)
What determines the color with which a body glows? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔temperature
What is Planck's equation? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔E=hf
What does Planck's equation mean? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Energy comes in
discrete packets. Energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency.
What does Planck's equation explain? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Blackbody

, What is Planck's constant (both what does it mean and what is its value)? -
🧠 ANSWER ✔✔6.63x10-34 Js,(very small) it is the proportionality constant
relating a photon's energy and frequency.
What is a quantum? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Small packet (of energy)
What is a photon? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Quantum of light or particle of light
What is the photoelectric effect? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Emission of electrons
from a metal when struck by certain frequencies of light.
Why can't low frequency light cause the emission of electrons, regardless
of the intensity of the light? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The energy per photon is too
low to get electrons away.
Why does higher intensity high frequency light emit more electrons than
low intensity high frequency light? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Because high intensity
light has more photons.
How did Einstein explain the photoelectric effect? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Used
Planck's idea of energy coming in packets (see photoelectric diagrams
from notes)
