She Blinded Me With Science

Topic: Energy and Color
What you need to be able to do: Use the equation E=hv to solve for both frequency and energy.
Use the equation c=(lambda)v to solve for both wavelength and frequency.
Find the wavelength of a photon if given only its energy. (Take it through both equations.)
Determine the transition based on the wavelength. Page 8 of your CRT is helpful on this topic.
Convert a wavelength from nm to m and back. 1 nm = 10^-9m.
Have memorized the numbers for c and h.
