  1. Quantum Theory, Part I The Atom Day 4

  2. Prism • White light is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum. • Passing it through a prism separates it. • Spectrum - The range of frequencies present in light. • White light has a continuous spectrum. • All colors are possible. • i.e. A rainbow

  3. Continuous Spectrum

  4. Joseph von Fraunhofer • Invented the spectroscope. • Discovered absorptionspectra when studying sunlight. • Discovered 574 dark lines appearing in the solar spectrum. • Called Fraunhofer lines in his honor. • Invented the diffraction grating and in doing so transformed spectroscopy from a qualitative art to a quantitative science by demonstrating how one could measure the wavelength of light accurately.

  5. Gustav Kirchhoff & Robert Bunsen • Studied emission spectra of heated elements • Referred to as spectrum analysis. • For this work, Bunsen and his laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, perfected a special gas burner • The clean, hot, non-luminous flame did not interfere with the colored flame given off by the test material. • Called simply the "Bunsen burner" • Kirchhoff suggested that similarly colored flames could be differentiated by looking at their emission spectra through a prism. • When he shone bright light through such flames, the dark lines in the absorption spectrum of the light corresponded in wavelengths, with the wavelengths of the bright, sharp lines characteristic of the emission spectra of the same test materials.

  6. Kirchhoff’s Laws • Formalized 3 laws that describe the spectral composition of light. • A hot solid object produces light with a continuous spectrum. • A hot tenuous gas produces light with spectral lines at discrete wavelengths (i.e. specific colors) which depend on the energy levels of the atoms in the gas. • A hot solid object surrounded by a cool tenuous gas (i.e. cooler than the hot object) produces light with an almost continuous spectrum which has gaps at discrete wavelengths depending on the energy levels of the atoms in the gas.

  7. Line Emission Spectra Hydrogen Sodium Bright lines represent ’s being released by the electrons. Black spaces represent ’s NOT absorbed/released by the electrons.

  8. Line Spectra of Some Elements IMPORTANT NOTE: Each element produces a slightly different line emission spectra. (Element Fingerprint)

  9. Things to Note! • Each element’s atoms contain electrons that absorb and release a __________ combination of  of light. • Emission and absorption spectrums are ______________ • True continuous spectrums are very rare and essentially only occur _____________. unique opposites in a vacuum

  10. Explanation of Emission Spectra • Let’s look at Hydrogen! n = 7 n = 6 n = 5 n = 4 n = 3 n = 2 n = 1

  11. Explanation of H’s Emission Spectra E = -0.445 x 10-19 J n = 7 E = -0.606 x 10-19 J n = 6 n = 5 E = -0.872 x 10-19 J n = 4 E = -1.36 x 10-19 J E = -2.42 x 10-19 J n = 3 Unstable (excited state) E = -5.45 x 10-19 J n = 2 1 photon with 16.33x 10-19 J E = +16.33 x 10-19 J E = +15.81 x 10-19 J n = 1 E = -21.78 x 10-19 J

  12. Explanation of Emission Spectra E = -0.445 J n = 7 E = -0.606 J n = 6 n = 5 E = -0.872 J n = 4 E = -1.36 J E = -2.42 J n = 3 E = 3.03 J E = -5.45 J n = 2 E = 19.36 J E = 16.33 J E = 19.36 J n = 1 E = -21.78 J

  13. 21 There are actually _______ possible photons that can be given off by any atom. n = 7 n = 6 n = 5 n = 4 n = 3 n = 2 n = 1

  14. Why do we only see 4 ’s (4 lines) when there are actually 21different photons (’s) being given off? 410 nm 434 nm 486 nm 656 nm

  15. Only 4 of the photons released correspond to visible light. n = 7 n = 6 n = 5 n = 4 n = 3 n = 2 n = 1

  16. UV IR The rest correspond to  in the ______ & ______ regions. n = 7 n = 6 n = 5 n = 4 n = 3 n = 2 UV = more energy (20 nm - 395 nm) IR = less energy (705 nm – 1 x 106 nm) n = 1

  17. Why do we only see RED (Pink) with the naked eye? • There are morered photons being given off than any other visible color. • More photons = Higher Intensity = This is the color we see.

  18. Why are Gamma, X-rays, & UV so Dangerous E = -5 J n = 7 E = -7 J n = 6 n = 5 E = - 10 J n = 4 E = -15 J n = 3 E = -25 J E = -40 J n = 2 90 J n = 1 E = -60 J

  19. Why are Gamma, X-rays, & UV so Dangerous • IF A PHOTON WITH WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY HITS AN ELECTRON, IT WILL KNOCK IT CLEAR OUT OF THE ATOM. An atom that has LOST 1/more electrons is called an ______ or a __________. They are extremely dangerous because they are unstable and will destroy other cells in an attempt to gain back the correct # of electrons and be stable/neutral again. • For this reason, these types of radiation are often collectively called ionizing radiation. cation + ion
