The term "________ to materials that have net unpaired spins and are attracted to a magnet.

Physicists

________ have looked into the properties of emission spectra, or the continuous or line spectra of radiation released by substances.

similar spots

The distance between ________ on successive waves is measured in wavelength.

de Broglie

An electron bound to the nucleus, according to ________, acts as a standing wave.

vertical distance

The ________ between a wave's midline and its peak or trough is called amplitude.

photoelectric effect

The ________ is a process in which electrons are ejected from the surface of certain metals when they are exposed to light with a minimum frequency, known as the threshold frequency.

wave function

The ________ of an electron in an atom is known as an atomic orbital.
