This episode explores the properties of light and its connection to chemistry. It explains that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that acts as both a wave and a particle (photon). Key relationships are introduced: c=λv, which links wavelength and frequency, and Planck's equation, E=hv, which shows energy is proportional to frequency. The episode highlights that atoms absorb or emit light in specific amounts of energy, which explains why each element has a unique color "fingerprint." This is the basis for spectroscopy, a powerful tool used to identify substances and analyze molecular structure.
