Answer: Describe at least two experiments you could

19 October 2015 Chapter 6  waves o lambda = wavelength o A = amplitude o V (nu) = frequency (Hertz) o c = speed of light in a vacuum (constant) = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s o V = c/lambda = (M/s) / m = s^-1 = 1/s o lambda = c/V = (m/s)/(1/s) = m o electromagnetic waves have two components  electric field  magnetic field  intersect at nodes  6.2 Quantum Theory o Planck (1900) - the smallest amount of E that can be emitted or absorbed in the form of EMR is a quantum  E = hv; h = 6.626 x 10^-34 Jxs  shorter wavelengths are for higher energies o Einstein (1905):
