Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase

Making Sodium Chloride Equipment: Method: 1. Firstly‚ safety measures were taken by putting on laboratory coats‚ wearing safety goggles and tying long hair back. This was to protect clothing‚ eyes and to avoid burning as the experiment included dealing with open flames. 2. The equipment needed (as shown and labelled in picture A) was collected. 3. Using a measuring cylinder for each‚ to be exact with measurements‚ we measured out 10cm³ of HCl and 10cm³

Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion

PEES 4200W- Physiology of Exercise Lab #2: Metabolism and Energy Expenditure 1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry‚ how efficient the subject ’s body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled‚ as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min‚ the volume

Sodium‚ one of many elements in the periodic table is being used in everyday life‚ it is also an essential element within your body. It is just another element‚ but one of the differences is that this element is something that most people consume every day. Sodium has played an important role in everyday life because of its uses in medicine‚ industry‚ and agriculture(Shriver). Sodium was discovered in 1807 by a man named Sir Humphrey Davy. He was well known for his discoveries of most alkali metals

Lab 5 Acid/Base Extractions Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to separate either the organic base (amine) or organic acid (carboxylic acid) from a mixture that contains inorganic impurities (salt) by performing a liquid-liquid extraction and then taking a melting point. Key Experimental Details and Observations Our starting material‚ Compound B‚ was a fine white powder and weighed 0.535g. The final product was a shiny white sheet that resembled acrylic paint and weighed 0.109g

Introduction In this lab‚ the purpose was to verify Hess’s Law. Four main topics were covered during this experiment including enthalpy of reaction‚ heat of formation‚ Hess’s Law‚ and calorimetry. The enthalpy of reaction‚ ΔHrxn is the heat or enthalpy change for a chemical reaction. The energy change is equal to the amount of heat transferred at a constant pressure in the reaction. The change represents the difference in enthalpy of the products and the reactants and is independent of the steps

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found
