  2. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    An FM radio station transmitting at 100 MHz emits photons with an energy of about 4.1357 × 10 −7 eV. This minuscule amount of energy is approximately 8 × 10 −13 times the electron's mass (via mass–energy equivalence). Very-high-energy gamma rays have photon energies of 100 GeV to over 1 PeV (10 11 to 10 15 electronvolts) or 16 nJ to 160 ...

  4. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted. Emission spectrum of hydrogen. The above picture shows the visible light emission spectrum for hydrogen. If ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    Each has an energy related to the frequency of the wave given by Planck's relation E = hf, where E is the energy of the photon, h is the Planck constant, 6.626 × 10 −34 J·s, and f is the frequency of the wave.

  6. Extremely high frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_high_frequency

    Extremely high frequency or commonly known as "EHF", is a large broadband that span a radius of about (30 GHz to 300 GHz) for the molecular spectra of radio frequencies. It lies between the super high frequency (3 GHz to 30 GHz) band and the far infrared band (300 GHz to 10 15), for which the lower part is the terahertz band.

  7. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    The intensity of light, over a narrow frequency range, is reduced due to absorption by the material and re-emission in random directions. By contrast, a bright emission line is produced when photons from a hot material are detected, perhaps in the presence of a broad spectrum from a cooler source.

  8. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Faraday proposed in 1847 that light was a high-frequency electromagnetic vibration, which could propagate even in the absence of a medium such as the ether. [40] Faraday's work inspired James Clerk Maxwell to study electromagnetic radiation and light. Maxwell discovered that self-propagating electromagnetic waves would travel through space at a ...

  9. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    The energy level of the bonding orbitals is lower, and the energy level of the antibonding orbitals is higher. For the bond in the molecule to be stable, the covalent bonding electrons occupy the lower energy bonding orbital, which may be signified by such symbols as σ or π depending on the situation.
