This study guide covers photon emission and absorption, focusing on how atoms interact with light. It explores energy transfer via photons, atomic energy levels and transitions, the relationship between photon energy, frequency, and wavelength, unique atomic spectra (emission and absorption), and binding energy/ionization. Key equations and spectral analysis are highlighted for exam preparation.
