Ms. Wilson Chem‚ Blk 10 31 October 2012 Atomic Emission Spectra Lab Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. An arrangement of all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is called the spectrum; the plural being spectra. As light passes through a prism‚ the frequencies of light emitted by an element separate into separate lines to give the atomic emission spectrum of the element. There are two spectrums in the lab: the incandescent

Hertz‚ was testing Maxwell’s Theory of Electromagnetic Waves. Hertz discovered that ultraviolet light discharged certain electrically charged metallic plates‚ a phenomenon that could not be explained by Maxwell’s Wave Theory. In order to explain this phenomenon termed the photoelectric effect‚ because both light and electricity are involved‚ the Quantum Theory was developed. The Photoelectric Effect Maxwell’s work with the Theory of Electromagnetic Waves may seem to have solved the problem

Waves Assignment Microwave Ovens Microwave ovens‚ or microwaves‚ are kitchen appliances which use microwave radiation to cook‚ heat or defrost food. Properties of a microwave: Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than those of Terahertz (THz) wavelengths‚ but relatively short for radio waves. Microwaves have wavelengths approximately in the range of 30 cm (frequency = 1 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz). The word microwave generally refers to "alternating current signals with

Unit7 Assignment 1 #1 transmission lines are specialized cables and other media designed to carry alternating current and electromagnetic waves of high frequency (radio frequency or higher)‚ high enough that its wave nature must be taken into account. #3 Solid dielectric cable has become the national standard for underground electric transmission lines less than 200 kV. There is less maintenance with the solid cable‚ but impending insulation failures are much more difficult to monitor and detect

Danielle Silverstein PHY 101 Section 10497 March 4‚ 2013 Light up this World Purpose: In this lab experiment‚ LED lights will be used to show how when E&M radiation is absorbed‚ the energy is converted to heat. A drop of isopropyl alcohol will absorb light energy of different colors‚ and the evaporation rate of the alcohol will be measured. The key to this lab is the evaporation rate is directly related to the energy of the light shining on the drop. Materials: * * LEDs

NT1310 Unit 7 Exercise 1 1. Crosstalk: A disturbance caused by electromagnetic interference‚ along a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other 2. Waveguides: A circular‚ elliptical or rectangular metal tube or pipe through which electromagnetic waves are propagated in microwave and RF communications. The wave passing through the medium is forced to follow the path determined

waves—ripples in space—instead of bullets. This explains how rainbows work. In fact‚ light is both. This "wave-particle duality" is one of the most confusing—and wonderful—principles of physics. Light is radiant energy‚ usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye‚ and is responsible for the sense of sight.[1] Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm)‚ or 400×10−9 m‚ to 700 nanometres – between the infrared‚ with longer

Flame Tests Atomic Emission and Electron Energy Levels AES‚ or atomic emission spectroscopy‚ is a method which chemically analyzes the particular wavelength of a sample element to identify and determine the abundance of this certain element. The wavelength of the atomic spectral line unveils the identity of the element while the emitted light intensity is proportional to the number of atoms in the element. The flame test is also a very effective way to identify an individual element. The color
