The Dual Nature of Matter and Light
• The concept that describes the dual nature of matter (i.e., particulate
and energy behaviors) is known as wave duality.
Wavelength–frequency
relationship:
– Long wavelength (l)
low frequency (n)
– Short wavelength (l)
high frequency (n)
• Wavelength (l) and
frequency (n) have an
INVERSE relationship.
n = 1/l
– Formulas:
l•n=c or n = c/l
where c = velocity of light, which is
3.00 x 108 m/s

Problem
Red light has wavelength (l) = 700 nm.
What would be its frequency (n)?
Solution:
• Visible spectrum
– White light is a mixture of all the colors of
visible light.
– 700 to 400 nm
• Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet
– Color happens when an object absorbs some
of the wavelengths of white light while
reflecting others.
– The observed color is predominantly the
colors reflected.
Visible light
wavelength
Ultraviolet radiation
Light diffracted
through two
slits separated
by a distance
comparable to
the wavelength
results in an
interference
pattern of the
diffracted
waves.
Ebinding = f
• Therefore, KE = hn − f
Solution:
E = hn
E = 6.63 x 10-34 J s x 3.82 x 1014/s
E = 2.53 x 10-19 J

Quantization of Energy Summary
• An object gains or loses radiant energy (light) by either
absorbing or emitting radiant energy (light).
From Planck: E = hn
E = hc/l
Therefore, mc = h/l
(mass)(velocity) = h/l
• Proof of the wave nature of the electron came a few years later with the
demonstration that a beam of electrons would produce an interference pattern as
if the electrons were waves.
Example:
Baseball
m = 115 g with v = 100 mph
l = 1.3 x 10-25 nm A VERY SHORT WAVELENGTH
Example:
Electron
m = 9.28 x 10-31 kg with v = 1.9 x 108 cm/s
l = 0.388 nm A VERY LONG WAVELENGTH
Solution:
1. Determine frequency (n).
n = c/l
l = 555 nm x (1 m/1 x 109 nm) = 5.55 x 10-7 m
n = 3.00 x 108 m/s/5.55 x 10-7 m
n = 5.40 x 1014 /s
2. Calculate energy.
E = h·n
E = (6.63 x 10-34 J·s)(5.40 x 1014 s-1)
E = 3.58 x 10-19 J per photon
3. Determine the energy per mol.
(3.58 x 10-19 J/photon)(6.02 x 1023 photons/mol)
= 2.16 x 105 J/mol or 216 kJ/mol

NOT SO GOOD
– Theory only successful for the element hydrogen
– Bohr introduced quantum idea artificially, but never fully explained
theoretically
ml: Orientation quantum number; indicates the area the electron occupies
» Values of ml are determined by +/- value of l
» Explains why there is one type of s, three types of p, five types of d,
and seven types of f orbitals
ms: Magnetic quantum number; indicates the spin of the electron in the
orbital
» Electron can spin with magnetic field ( ) or against a magnetic field ( ).
» Only has values of + ½ or – ½
•Diamagnetic
• NOT attracted to a magnetic field
• Substances have paired spins.
•Paramagnetic
• Substance is attracted to a magnetic field.
• Substances with unpaired electrons are
paramagnetic.
l = 1 for a p orbital
ml = (+/-) l so can have -1, 0, 1
