What occurs to electrons as they go from a lower to a higher energy orbital?

Front

Absorb light, increase in potential, are excited, and become more distant from the nucleus.

Back

How does energy of a quantum change with increasing frequency of radiation?

Front

Increases

Back

As electrons are excited to a higher energy orbital, they will absorb energy in the form of light. How does energy relate to the wavelength of light?

Front

As the wavelength of light increases, the energy will decrease. (wavelength is in the denominator of E=hc/λ)

Back

The energy of an electron equation states what regarding energy when the quantum state increases of an electron?

Front

It will INCREASE

Back

How does the frequency of light that causes ejection of electrons relate to the minimum frequency threshold?

Front

It must be GREATER for the photoelectric effect to occur

Back

What occurs as electrons move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level?

Front

They emit the same amount of energy that was required to excite them in the form of light
