Answer to Question 1

Answer: Electrons orbit the nucleus of atoms in prescribed zones called shells. Upon receiving energy in the form of a photon, the electron is in an excited state and jumps to its next shell. When the electron returns to its ground state, it releases energy in the form of a photon. The energy emitted by such atoms must occur in discrete packets; at the atomic scale, units of energy are divided into individual parcels.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Electric wave: the electric component of an electromagnetic wave. magnetic wave: the magnetic component of an electromagnetic wave. wavelength: distance between wave crests. wave amplitude: the height of a wave. wave speed: the speed of light. black body: a hypothetical object that emits the maximum possible radiation at every wavelength. Stefan-Boltzmann law: the intensity of energy radiated by a blackbody increases according to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. Wien's law: hotter objects radiate energy at shorter wavelengths than do cooler bodies. electromagnetic bands: a grouping of wavelength rangesranges.
