Question 1

What happens when an atom absorbs/emits a photon?

Accepted Answer

The atom's energy increases/decreases by the amount of the energy in the photon

Question 2

How is wavelength related to frequency in a wave?

Accepted Answer

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases

Question 3

How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency?

Accepted Answer

As frequency increases, energy increases

Question 4
