SUMMARY OF KEY CONCEPTS: WEEK #4
Lecture #7 textbook Chapter 5 (4th
edition) or Chapter 6 (3rd
edition) on `Light'
The wave / particle properties of light are connected via a famous formula of quantum theory:
Photon energy = Planck's constant x wave frequency
.... | The lecture notes for ASTR 1120 Section 1 (Spring 2006) cover the wave‑particle duality of light, stating that photon energy equals Planck's constant times frequency (E = hf), so higher‑frequency (shorter‑wavelength) radiation like X‑rays carries more energy than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum is ordered b... |
