Electromagnetic radiation and quantum phenomena (AQA A-Level Physics): Flashcards

Fixed energy states electrons occupy; cannot exist between

Electron moves to higher energy level after gaining energy

Electron gains enough energy to completely leave the atom

Minimum energy required to remove electron from atom

Original/lowest energy level of an electron

A photon

Energy gained by electron moving through p.d. of $1$ V

$1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ J

Multiply by $1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

Divide by $1.6 \times 10^{-19}$
