Abstract
The classic wave model can be used to understand the behavior of electrons constrained to the vicinity of a nucleus. Because light and color arise only because of these localized electrons, it is not surprising that a wave model is also useful in describing light. Models (in general) make an unobservable entity or event intelligible by relating it to an observable, well-understood object or phenomenon. In this article inexpensive examples of the wave model are described.

Michael Davis , Todd P. Silverstein , Dean J. CampbellJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1287An undergraduate student's first exposure to modern atomic theory tends to start with Bohr's model of the atom. This familiar introduction to atomic structure also marks a general chemistry student's first foray into waves. Many popular chemistry ...
