The wavelength is the distance in meters from one point on a wave to the next time that exact point is repeated‚ for example‚ the distance from one crest‚ to the next time there is a crest. This is also the distance in meters of one period of the wave. The frequency of a wave is the amount of times its wavelength or period is repeated in a unit of time. Frequency and wavelength are

that measures the quantitative amounts of light of different wavelengths absorbed and transmitted by a pigment solution (Mitchell‚ Reece). The spectrophotometer includes a light bulb‚ a reflector‚ and a detector. When a sample is in place and the chamber lid is closed‚ light from the light bulb passes through it. The detector measures the amount of light transmitted. The white light from the bulb is separated into different wavelengths by reflecting the beam off of a diffraction grating‚ forming

work by absorbing different wavelengths of light and reflecting others. These pigments are divided into two categories primary (chlorophyll) and accessory (carotenoids) pigments. Chlorophyll is then divided into three forms a‚ b‚ and c (Campbell‚ 1996). Chlorophyll a is the primary pigment used during photosynthesis (Campbell‚ 1996). This pigment is the only one that can directly participate in light reactions (Campbell‚ 1996). Chlorophyll a absorbs the wavelengths of 600 to 700nm (red and orange)

see a spiral. Imagine that these lines are instead two of the smallest forms of energy known as a photon and they are spiraling each other. When you reach distances of four hundred nanometres to seven hundred nanometres in between the photons (or wavelengths) you get what is commonly known as a visible light wave. Light is very common in the Universe. Light is so common that everything on Earth has evolved to us life to its advantage to survive. If you were to take a prism and put light to it‚ it

Laser amplifiers Almost any laser active gain medium can be pumped to produce gain for light at the wavelength of a laser made with the same material as its gain medium. Such amplifiers are commonly used to produce high power laser systems. Special types such as regenerative amplifiers and chirped-pulse amplifiers are used to amplify ultrashort pulses.

contains a modulation of its core refractive index over a certain length. The grating reflects light propagating through the fiber when its wavelength corresponds to the modulation periodicity. In a chirped FBG‚ the periodicity of the induced index modulation varies along the grating’s length. As the grating period varies along the axis‚ the different wavelengths are reflected by different portions of the grating and accordingly are delayed by different amounts of time. The net effect is a compression

determine an unknown substance. Each test will use the spectrophotometer. Spectroscopy is the study of light. A spectrophotometer is a machine used to determine the absorbance of light at any given wavelength. It does this by using a source of white light through a prism‚ which gives multiple wavelengths that can be individually focused (Ayyagari and Nigam‚ 2007). Substances are put into cuvettes that are glass or quartz containers that light can easily travel through. The light that is being focused
