2. What are the types of waves given off by the sun and other stars? Which of the visible light waves are given off by the sun? How do we known this? (Hint: Have you ever seen a rainbow?) How are these waves different?
3. How are frequency (v) and wavelength (λ) related for a wave?
4. a. What is the wavelength of the scarlet red light waves reflected from Jennifer Lopez’s lipstick in the limelight if they have a frequency of 4.25 x 1014 sec -1?
b. If she happened to be feeling blue and wore her indigo eyeliner that reflects light with a wavelength of 4.15 x 10-7 m in a dimly light lit alley, what would be the frequency?
5. Explain the difference between a continuous spectrum and a line-emission spectrum?
6. a. How did Max Planck explain the relationship between frequency and energy of electromagnetic radiation? What mathematical equation did he drive to describe this relationship? What is Planck’s constant equal to?
b. “One” by the band U2, the number one song voted by the listeners of 91X in 1992, can still be heard broadcasted from the booster station XTRA (“equis,tay,eddie, ah…Baha, California, Mexico”) at least once a day in San Diego. What is the energy of these waves if they arrive here with a frequency of 1.35 x 1012 sec -1?
7. Erwin Schrödinger is a man of tremendous credit to the development of the explanation of the configuration of electrons in atoms and the newly developing idea that matter behaves differently when it is really small like electrons. What was his contribution to the understanding of electrons in atoms?
8. One chunk: What is the relationship between light and waves? Include a discussion on the energy, frequency and wavelength of
