An incident light beam interacting with a material can be absorbed, scattered or cannot interact at all, passing through it.
When the level of energy of the photon impacting with the material is correspondent to the to the difference between the ground state and the excited state of the molecules forming the impacted material, the absorbed photon causes a promotion to the higher energy excited state of the molecules.
Absorption spectroscopy measures this change in energetic level detecting the loss of energy of the out coming light after the impact with the sample material.
Nevertheless, the light can also be impacting with the material and scatter from it. In this instance, the photon does not need to be at an energy level able to cover the

Wavelength indirectly proportional to energy.
The condition in which light is utilised in raman scattering and infrared absorption spectroscopies is quite different. In infrared absorption the analyte is exposed to a radiation of a broad range of wavelengths and when the specific incident light frequency matches the vibrational energy level of the analyte, the molecule is stimulated to a higher vibrational state.
It is analysed the loss of energy of the incident radiation due to these absorptions.
On the other hand, Raman scattering adopt one unique incident radiation at a fix wavelength to interact with the sample material. The scattered light produced by the irradiated analyte is then monitored.
Consequently, opposite to the infrared spectroscopy, Raman scattering does not demand an overlapped incident radiation to the energy change between the ground and excited

Since only an electrons cloud distortion occur in scattering, the light is re-radiated with minor frequency variations. This scattering re-radiation is called elastic scattering and is the principal process. At molecular level, this scattering process is named Rayleigh scattering.
When nuclear motion is involved in the scattering process, energy is shifted from the incident light to the sample or from the molecule to the scattered light. In these instances, the process is deemed to be inelastic and the energy of the scattered light is different from the energy of the incident light by one vibrational energy unit. This is called Raman scattering. The Raman scattering is a weak phenomenon, occurring in only one in every 106 – 108 photons which scattered. In the same time, other radiation processes occur, such as fluorescence and sample
Cadet Eric Wiggins Date: 18 September 2014 Course Name: Chem 100 Instructor: Captain Zuniga Section: M3A Identification of a Copper Mineral Intro Minerals are elements or compounds that are created in the Earth by geological processes. The method of isolating metals in a compound mineral is normally conducted through two processes.
The laws of reflection and refraction can be shown using Huygens’ principle as well. The concept of diffraction occurs when a wave bends in a way other than reflection or refraction. Diffraction occurs to some degree in every shadow. The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength and the size of the obstruction that casts
Unit D Summary: Light and Geometric Optics 10.1 : Light and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).
Nucleophilic Substitution: Preparation of 1-Bromobutane and Alkyl Halide Classification Tests Introduction This procedure was undertaken in order to convert a primary alcohol, 1-butanol, into a primary alkyl halide, 1-bromobutane. This was done using hydrobromic acid. Additionally, tests were performed to assess the degree of the alkyl halide: primary, secondary or tertiary.
Have you ever wonder how does a crime scene investigator, known as a CSI, discover blood spatter on different fabrics, which is not visible to the human eye? The key is bluestar. According to the article “Influence of Bluestar Reagent on Blood Spatter Stain of Different Fabrics” by Arnon Grafit, bluestar is a “luminol-based reagent that is applied by spraying on surface.” Not only that, but “it helps obtain DNA and to analyze spatters patterns. By analyzing the article the reader is able to understand how bluestar works through the rhetorical techniques used.
So these would tend to have more reflections building up, to see that the biggest buildup is in the 400Hz band gives an idea how these materials can influence each other to resonate at a lower range than the previous
However, this phenomenon only happens when the electron is free and photon has high energy or X-ray because the energy of the photon need to exceed a certain
1- The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all type of EM radiation. It also describes the wavelength of light. EM radiation is the radiant energy that is released by a certain electromagnetic processes and a wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave. 2- The different between ionising and non-ionising radiation is that ionising radiation carries energy to ionize atoms and has more energy than non-ionising.
However, any doubts regarding the results may be traced to a few elements of the experiment that lend themselves to possible error. The following factors may have contributed to potential errors in the experiment; the need to zero the machine between each of the readings in obtaining the absorption spectrum and the resulting peak wavelength, the precision with which a person can accurately adjust the needle on the spectrophotometer to zero is limited, not putting in the inaccurate amount of cobalt chloride or water into the substance, and getting oil from our fingers onto the
Bromination is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction where one hydrogen atom of benzene or benzene derivative is replaced by bromine due to an electrophilic attack on the benzene ring. The purpose of this experiment is to undergo bromination reaction of acetanilide and aniline to form 4-bromoacetanilide and 2,4,6-tribromoaniline respectively. Since -NHCOCH3 of acetanilide and -NH2 of aniline are electron donating groups, they are ortho/para directors due to resonance stabilized structure. Even though the electron donating groups activate the benzene ring, their reactivities are different and result in the formation of different products during bromination.
Properties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has
The absorbance level @ 520 nm obtained from the spectrometer indicates the amount of urea obtained via measuring the absorbance of the light through the supernatant coloration, which was provided by the
First let’s explain what Ultra violet radiation is. Ultraviolet radiation definition is radiation in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum where wavelengths are just shorter than those of ordinary, visible violet light but longer than those of x-rays. In other words it’s dangerous to play with. It is unstable molecules known as reactive oxygen species. (Source: Journal of Aesthetic Nursing (J AESTHETIC NURS), Jul/Aug2015; 4(6): 276-280.
Wavelength of light is determined by amount of energy released when electron drops to lower orbit. Light is coherent; all the photons have same wave fronts that launch to unison. Laser light has tight beam and is strong and concentrated. To make these three properties occur takes something called “Stimulated Emission”, in which photon emission is
Introduction The goal of the experiment is to examine how the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Sodium thiosulphate is affected by altering the concentrations. The concentration of Sodium thiosulfate will be altered by adding deionised water and decreasing the amount of Sodium thiosulphate. Once the Sodium thiosulphate has been tested several times. The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction can be examined in this experiment.
