source. Prequency and Wave Length In physics‚ the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave’s shape repeats.[1] It is usually determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase‚ such as crests‚ troughs‚ or zero crossings‚ and is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves‚ as well as other spatial wave patterns.[2][3] Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letterlambda (λ)

produced by the resonating column of air will sound louder than the sound produced by the sound source. The expressions below show the relationships between the length of the column of air and wavelength‚ and the velocity of sound and wavelength. The relationship between the velocity of sound and wavelength is called the basic equation. í Setting Up u Set up the equipment as shown in the illustration‚ and fill with water‚ taking care it does not overflow. u Raise and lower the reservoir and check

station broadcasts at a wavelength of 0.500 kilometers. Microwaves can have a wavelength of 12 cm. A fire place can give off photons with a wavelength of 1.5 x 10-3 millimeters and the X-rays used in a dentist’s office have a wavelength of 2.1 x 10-11 meters. Ultraviolet rays‚ the ones that give you sunburn or fade the colors of clothes have a wavelength of about 3.0 x 10-7 meters. From this data‚ what can you conclude about the energy of a photon with respect to its wavelength? Ans: Photons

like waves (Wave-Particle Duality‚ January 2010). There are times when light seems to act as both. At times‚ light appears to only travel in a straight line‚ as if it were made of particles. Yet other experiments show that light has a frequency or wavelength‚ just like a sound wave or water wave (Wave-Particle Duality‚ January 2010). “Until the 20th century‚ most physicists thought that light was either one or the other‚ and that the scientists on the other side of the argument were simply wrong.” (Wave-Particle

absorbance of KMnO4 was measured by spectrophotometric method to determine the molar concentration and the molar extinction coefficient of KMnO4. In part 1‚ in order to determine the maximum absorbance wavelength of KMnO4‚ we measured the absorbance of the sample solution which contains KMnO4 at the wavelengths between 330nm and 660nm‚ and plotted the λ and A points; the λmax was 530nm. In part 2‚ the effect of concentration on the absorbance was examined. We prepared five differently concentrated (but

Effects of Changing Wavelength on Raphanus Sativus Abstract: Light from the Sun is a full spectrum of different wavelengths of light. Scientists refer to this light as “white light”. When the wavelength of visible light changes‚ so does the color seen by the eye. The shortest wavelengths visible to the human eye are violet (400 nanometers). The longest wavelengths visible the human eye are red (700 nanometers). Each plant is affected differently by the changing wavelengths of light. The purpose

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

The Effect of Light Intensity The effect of different light wavelengths was tested in the following experiment. The rate of photosynthesis can be affected depending on the light treatment it receives. With the aid of DPIP acting as NADPH in photosynthesis‚ it was possible to observe the reaction as it took place. Samples were created with dark‚ 24 cm‚ 30 cm‚ and 49 cm light treatments. The absorbance was measured in five-minute intervals for each sample and recorded in an appropriate table
