amplitude and intensity

[megangeorge-1K]

Does anyone know if we will be tested on amplitude and intensity on Test 2? Its in section 1.2

thank you :)

[Gisselle Sainz 2F]

I believe the test will cover up to section 1.5, if I'm not mistaken. Basically, all of the quantum material we've learned up until DeBroglie's Equation.

thank you so much!

[Madison Hacker 1L]

Yes, I believe it will be covered because it will most likely be mentioned in a problem, but not specifically tested!

[Vienna Cimetta 1L]

Also I think it's important to note that if any question says that "brightness" is increased or decreased, they are talking about the amplitude of a given wavelength, not the frequency. Just so you know how it might be applied in the test.

I could see it being mentioned on the test because I believe it was discussed in class.

[Ashley Martinez 1G]

I agree it's fair game for the test. If you find yourself looking for a study source about the subject, pages 146-151 in the pdf version of the textbook were pretty helpful to me

[Jose Hernandez 1D]

Yes there is a possibility that it will be covered

It is important to just keep in mind that increasing the intensity of light does not cause electrons to be ejected

[Joanna Pham - 2D]

Does the intensity just refer to the brightness of the light?

[Haison Nguyen 1I]

Yes I believe we will be tested on that and everything else up until De Broglie's equation.

Does the intensity just refer to the brightness of the light?

Yes, it does. Intensity/brightness of the radiation is determined by the square of the amplitude.
