Wave Model
Does anyone know what we should specifically know about electromagnetic radiation/the wave model? I think I may be overthinking it.
Re: Wave Model
I would just understand the facts that came from the experiment. you should probably know what is in the textbook.

Re: Wave Model
Hello!
Here are the main Ideas:
Light is electromagnetic radiation (wave of electric and magnetic fields)
When light is passed through a crystal, a diffraction pattern arises
Speed of light in a vacuum (c): 3.00 x 108 ms-1
Frequency (v)
How many cycles per second
Hertz (Hz)
1Hz = 1s-1
Determines the position in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Wavelength (ƛ)
The peak to peak distance (measures in meters)
C = ƛv = 3.00 x 108 ms-1
I would also memorize the electromagnetic spectrum.
Hope this helps!
