Physics - we discussed the origin of light and ALL electromagnetic radiation: all EMR, in the form of photons, separate individual packets of mass-less energy is engendered from the energy "lost" by an electron as it goes from farther from the nucleus (an excited state) to closer to the nucleus (a less excited state). Energy cannot be created or destroyed so the loss in potential energy of the electron takes the form of the energy of a photon, which is simultaneously emitted by the atom or ion.

We then calculated the energy of photons that formed from electron transitions, and then we associated these photon energies with the WAVE nature of the same EMR by using Planck's equation,
Ephoton = hf .
We then began to go over our comprehensive 3rd quarter exam.

AP Chem - took our Ksp solubility exam; people who "rehearsed" particular answers, and IGNORED what was actually being asked wrote a lot of IRRELEVANT information for NO CREDIT! This was a difficult unit, so to witness people cramming/reading notes at the last minute showed the fecklessness of such an approach to this course.
