This radiation shows wavelike behavior, which can be characterized by a frequency, ν, and a wavelength, λ, such that c = λν. Light is an example of a travelling wave. Other important wave phenomena include standing waves, periodic oscillations, and vibrations. Standing waves exhibit quantization, since their wavelengths are limited to discrete integer multiples of some characteristic lengths.

A basic knowledge of the electronic structure of atoms requires an understanding of the properties of waves and electromagnetic radiation. A wave is a periodic oscillation by which energy is transmitted through space. All waves are periodic, repeating regularly in both space and time. Waves are characterized by several interrelated properties.

Einstein’s quantum theory explains the relationship between light frequency and the energy of ejected electrons, while the work function represents the energy needed to remove an electron from a metal. Initial resistance to these ideas was later overcome by Millikan's confirmation.

An alternating current, on the other hand, has a value that changes with time. This change in current follows a pattern that we can characterize by it period—the time for one complete cycle—or by its frequency, which is the reciprocal of its period. Frequency is reported in hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to one cycle per second.
