Explanation:

• radiation: Energy that travels through space in the form of waves or particles.
• electromagnetic radiation: A form of radiation that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X - rays, and gamma rays. It is composed of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
• wavelength: The distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave.
• frequency: The number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit of time.
• amplitude: The height of a wave from its rest position (for a transverse wave) or the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position (for a longitudinal wave).
• electromagnetic spectrum: The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, ordered by wavelength or frequency.
• quantum: A discrete packet of energy.
• Planck's constant: A fundamental physical constant (\(h = 6.626\times10^{-34}\space J\cdot s\)) that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency (\(E = h

u\)).

• photoelectric effect: The emission of electrons from a material when light (electromagnetic radiation) of a certain frequency shines on it.
• photon: A particle of light (a quantum of electromagnetic radiation).
• atomic emission spectrum: The set of frequencies of light emitted by an atom when its electrons transition from higher energy levels to lower energy levels.
