wavelength of 98.0 pm. What element do you think it is?

Certain elements emit light of a specific wavelength when 
they are burned or heated in a non-luminous flame. Historically, 
chemists used such emission wavelengths to determine 
whether specific elements were present in a sample. Some 
characteristic wavelengths for a few of the elements are given 
in the following table: 
Ag 328.1 nm Fe 372.0 nm 
Au 267.6 nm K 404.7 nm 
Ba 455.4 nm Mg 285.2 nm 
Ca 422.7 nm Na 589.6 nm 
Cu 324.8 nm Ni 341.5 nm 
(c) When 
burned, a sample of an unknown substance is found to emit 
light of frequency 6.58 * 1014 s-1. Which of these elements is 
probably in the sample?

Wavelength and Frequency

Wavelength&nbsp;is the distance from one crest of a wave to another, whereas frequency is the number of waves within a second.&nbsp;

Quantum Numbers: Spin Quantum Number

The Spin Quantum Number deals with the spin of an electron within an orbital.

The Speed of Light in a vacuum is related to the wavelength and frequency of a light particle.

Bohr Equation

In the Bohr Equation, the energy and wavelength a photon is related to its energy shell transitions.

Quantum Numbers: Angular Momentum Quantum Number

The&nbsp;Angular Momentum Quantum Number&nbsp;gives the shape of the atomic orbitals.

Emission Spectrum

Emission Spectra is a series of lines formed when emitted light is focused by a slit and passed through a prism. &nbsp;

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

The 4 Quantum Numbers provide us the coordinates to find the theoretical location of an electron.

Quantum Numbers: Nodes

A node is the region in an atom with zero electron density and where an electron is least likely to exist.

The Energy of Light

The Energy of Light&nbsp;involves the use of a new variable Planck's Constant.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the different forms of radioactive energy that exists in our universe.

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle&nbsp;tries to explain the potential duality of an electron behaving as either a particle or wave.&nbsp;

Quantum Numbers: Number of Electrons

The Quantum Numbers can give both the quantity and location of electrons within a given atom.&nbsp;

Quantum Numbers: Principal Quantum Number

The Principal Quantum Number gives both the size and energy of an electron shell.&nbsp;

Photoelectric Effect

What happens when light strikes the surface of a metal? The Photoelectric Effect&nbsp;can help to explain that.&nbsp;

Quantum Numbers: Magnetic Quantum Number

The Magnetic Quantum Number gives the location of an electron within a specific orbital.

Bohr Model

In the Bohr Model, electrons can move up and down to different orbitals or shells based on absorbing or releasing of energy.&nbsp;

De Broglie Wavelength

The&nbsp;De Broglie Wavelength equation relates wavelength to velocity or speed.&nbsp;
