Chemistry
Unit 1 Key Questions Lesson 1

1. One argument against continuing research on the atom is that the cost continues to increase at an alarming rate, and the benefits seem to be declining. Whereas quantum chemistry experiments as early as 80 years ago were very cheap and yielded considerable practical results, now very few if any practical results are emerging, but the costs of experiments continues to increase. On the other hand a common argument for the continued research in atomic and subatomic structure is the desire for a greater understanding of the universe. As we study the interactions of very small particles, we can gain a better understanding of how they work together to ultimately create the world we live in. Also there is a practical goal of understanding subatomic particles. Current data on how atoms and electrons interact is based on observation alone, and the reasons are unknown. For this reason, the predictions are occasionally vastly inaccurate when involved in larger systems. For example, we cannot predict the energy states of an electron accurately once the number of electrons goes above 1, if insight can be shed into the design of the particles that because the behavior we observe, it will be the most significant practical discovery since the discovery of chemistry itself.
2. Visible light VIBGYOR has a frequency of about 760 micro meter and our human eye is sensitive to this spectra this is the reason why we can see visible light. All other spectra are not visible to our eye. Visible light which appears as white light is made of VIBGYOR colors, ultraviolet rays lay beside violet of visible light and has a lesser frequency than visible light.
Ultraviolet light has lesser frequency with high power intensity than visible light; when we are exposed to UV rays it causes skin cancer and cataract in eye. Because of its power intensity it is widely used for anti microbial treatment

    Ultra Violet radiation is energy from the sun. The visible light that reaches the earth are classified as infrared and Ultra Violet. As Ultra Violet Radiation reaches the earth’s atmosphere it is filtered by other elements of the earth. The Ultra Violet Light will not harm people but does pose a threat to those who have prolonged exposure to Ultra Violet Light. While a small amount of sun exposure is pleasurable and healthy, overexposure can be dangerous (Ferniany, 2008).…

    UV radiation is part of the light that reaches the earth from the sun. It has wavelengths shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These wavelengths are UVA, UVB, or UVC. UVA is the longest. UVB ranges from 290-320 nm. UVC has shorter rays and most of them are absorb by the ozone layer and does not reach the earth. UVA and UVB penetrate the atmosphere and cause premature skin ageing, aye damage, and skin cancers.…

    Ultraviolet or UV rays have a shorter wave length than visible light yet is longer than X-rays. UV rays are not visible to humans yet are visible to some insects. UV rays get their name from electromagnetic waves which frequencies are higher than those that humans can identify as the colour violet. Although ultraviolet radiation is invisible to the human eye, a lot of people are aware of the effects of UV rays in tanning beds and the sun through sunburn and skin cancer.…

    Absorbance of Light vs. Concentration of Colored Solution Introduction: Performing this lab showed the importance of light in virtual drug screening because light can be used in a variety of ways to obtain different kinds of information in research. Light can be used to determine the concentration of DNA or protein in solution, tag different objects such as cells, protein structures, or bacteria in order to determine whether there is a large amount of a certain substance, and to determine the size of different particles. One main use for light in virtual drug screening is high throughput screening, which allows the researcher to do multiple numbers of tests on substances and quickly identify them. For example, a researcher can use light scattering to screen for ligands by measuring the amount of light scattered. The scattered light can be used to determine if there is an aggregation of proteins and how stable those proteins are, which informs researchers whether there is a ligand binding to the protein or not1. However, the point of this lab was to show how light can be used to determine the concentrations of either DNA or proteins in solution, which is a very important part of virtual drug screening. This lab introduced how a spectrophotometer can be used to determine the absorbance of different concentrations of a certain solution, and then how to use the information gathered and Beer‟s Law to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution. Beer‟s Law relates the length which light has to travel through the solution, the concentration of the solution, and the molar absorptivity with the absorbance of that solution. Beer‟s Law states that “there is a logarithmic dependence between the transmission of light that shines through a material and the density of the material as well as the length of the material that the light is traveling through”2. The logarithmic relationship is important to this lab because at high concentrations, absorbance is no longer directly…
