Frequency A band of colors, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength Planck

Constant Voltage required to stop the outward movement of electrons emitted by photoelectric or thermionic action. Electronvolt The theory that states that all objects can exhibit both wave and particle properties

Stopping potential The number of oscillations per unit time

Wave particle duality Constant used in quantum physics; 6.63 x 10-34 J s

Quantum The energy change of an electron when it moves through a potential difference of one volt. De Broglie wavelength The electrical energy transferred per unit charge when electrical energy is converted into some other form of energy Energy levels The emission of electrons from the surface of material when electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface Spectra The work an object can do by virtue of its speed, measured in Joules(J); A scalar quantity

Potential difference A discrete, indivisible quantity

Photoelectric effect The quantum mechanical "wavelength" associated with a particle.

Kinetic energy One of the specific energies an electron can have in an atom
