Lecture Description
In this lecture Professor Sylvia Ceyer moves on from the wavelike properties of light, to the particle-like nature of light. To do so she covers the photoelectric effect in detail, discussing threshold frequency and kinetic energy vs. frequency. Planck's constant is discussed. The lectures concludes with a discussion of photon momentum and its relation to wavelength.
Course Description
This is an introductory chemistry course, emphasizing basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. This course also introduces the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
