Stoichiometry, and Light

The topics on the exam are listed in the title of this page. The sections of this document provide a few practice exercises for each topic. They are not comprehensive and only represent typical types of questions. By attempting to answer them you should be able to identify areas where further review is required. For sections you complete easily, spend less time reviewing. For sections you struggle with, spend more time reviewing. Use the learning targets for each topic, shared elsewhere, to guide what you need to review for each topic.

If you are looking at this document online then each topic or subtopic will link to a relevant activity with further information and/or examples.

Light and Atoms

Answer the following questions based on your class notes. The link brings you back to the main activity we used for this lesson.

  1. Draw a simple wave and label wavelength and amplitude.
  2. Draw two waves with different frequencies. How can the drawing tell you about the frequency of the wave?
  3. Fill in the blanks with the word ‘increases’ or ‘decreases’.
    As wavelength increases, frequency __________________.
    As frequency increases, wavelength __________________.
    As frequency increases, energy per photon __________________.
    As frequency decreases, energy per photon __________________.
  4. What is meant by the ground state and excited state of an atom?
  5. An electron must gain energy to move farther away from the nucleus. According to your reading how do electrons gain energy to move to higher energy levels?
  6. Just as a ball naturally rolls downhill (and not uphill) an electron naturally falls down to lower energy levels, eventually reaching the ground state. How is the excess energy released when this happens?
  7. Why do different elements have different bright line spectrums?
  8. What are the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum called? List them in order from longest to shortest wavelength.
  9. What are the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum called? List them in order from largest to smallest energy.

Use the Speed Formula to find wavelength (λ) given frequency or to find frequency (f) given wavelength. For each problem identify what part of the electromagnetic spectrum each problem refers to by using the spectrum reference sheet you have received.

  1. f = 5.2 × 1015 Hz
    λ =
  2. f = 6.5 × 107 Hz
    λ =
  1. λ = 5.6 × 10-11 m
    f =
  2. λ = 2.98 × 100 m
    f =

Sometimes wavelengths of light are given in nanometers (nm, 1 m = 1 × 109 nm) or micrometers (μm, 1 m = 1 × 106 μm). Visible and ultraviolet light are measured using nanometers (nm) and infrared and some microwave wavelengths are are measured using micrometers (μm).

For each of the following problems find the wavelength in meters and then decide whether the light is in the ultraviolet (UV) (10 nm – 400 nm), Visible (400 nm – 700 nm) or the infrared (IR) range (0.7 μm – 1000 μm). If it is in the UV or visible range convert meters to nanometers. If it is in the IR range convert meters to micrometers.

  1. f = 2.7 × 1015 Hz
    λ in meters:
    spectrum range:
    λ in μm or nm:
  2. f = 6.5 × 1014 Hz
    λ in meters:
    spectrum range:
    λ in μm or nm:
  1. f = 5.2 × 1012 Hz
    λ in meters:
    spectrum range:
    λ in μm or nm:
  2. f = 2.9 × 1013 Hz
    λ in meters:
    spectrum range:
    λ in μm or nm:

Frequencies, too, are sometimes given in units other than Hz (1/s). The only proper unit to use in c = λf is 1/s (which is the same as Hz). So when frequencies are given in kHz, MHz, or GHz it is necessary to convert them first.
1 GHz = 1 × 109 Hz           1 MHz = 1 × 106 Hz          1 kHz = 1,000 Hz.

Find the wavelength in meters for each of the following frequencies.

  1. a cordless phone: f = 2.7 GHz
    λ =
  2. an FM radio station: f = 97.9 MHz
    λ =
  1. an AM radio station: f = 1330 kHz
    λ =
  2. an X-ray: f = 2.4 × 109 GHz
    λ =

Often it is important to be able to use a wavelength (λ) to find the energy per photon (E). This is a two-step calculation in which you must first use c = λf to find frequency (f) and second use E = hf to find energy per photon (E). For each of the following, perform the indicated calculation. For each problem identify what part of the electromagnetic spectrum each problem refers to by using the spectrum reference sheet you have received.

  1. λ = 2.8 × 10-10 m
    E =
  2. λ = 8.1 × 10-5 m
    E =
  1. E = 5.87 × 10-19 J
    λ = __________
