nature of light and atomic spectrum
DESCRIPTION
Nature of light and atomic spectrum. Energy from the sun. Fusion – process of 2 nuclei that combine to make one (a new element ) and emitting large amounts of energy. The sun is a giant ball of hydrogen gas undergoing a fusion reaction – releasing energy. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Energy from the sun Fusion – process of 2
nuclei that combine to make one (a new element ) and emitting large amounts of energy.
The sun is a giant ball of hydrogen gas undergoing a fusion reaction – releasing energy.
We know that energy as electromagnetic radiation

Seeing color White light contains all
visible light spectrum R O Y G B V We see….
Black – absorbing all colors White – reflecting all colors Color – ex: red – reflecting
red and absorbing all other colors

White Light
Example – sun lightPasses through prism & separates into continuous spectrum.
Called continuous because all portions are visible – no blank areas

How is light formed?
All electrons in an atom exist naturally in their “ground state” e- configuration (all want to be close to nucleus – lower in energy)
If energy is added – electrons move to higher energy level – “excited state” – but don’t stay.
Electrons fall back to ground state and release light

How is light formed?An electron will jump to a higher
energy level by absorbing energy.
An electron will fall back to ground state by releasing light

Atomic Emission SpectraElement’s atomic emission spectra is unique - used to determine an unknown compound.
Like a fingerprintAll elements have a different atomic emission spectrum
Found by using a spectroscope.

What is a spectroscope?Instrument designed to visually
observe spectra by splitting the LIGHT into its components.
Usually has PRISM or a DIFFRACTION GRATING to split light into components.
Diffraction gratings consist usually of thousands of narrow, closely spaced parallel slits (or grooves).
