Definitions, Formulas, etc. Flashcards
Potential Energy
the energy due to the position of the object relative to other objects
Kinetic Energy
is the energy due to the motion of the object
Filtration
is based on differences in particle size
Crystallization
is based on differences in solubility
Distillation
separates components through differences in volatility
Chromatography
is based on differences in solubility
molecular formula
actual number of atoms in the molecule
empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of atoms in the molecule
the mole value
6.022 x 10 ^23
Speed of light c
3.00 x 10^8 m/s
Wavelength λ
distance between 2 peaks (Units: m)
Frequency (v/nu)
number of waves per second (Units: S^-1 or Hz)
Light equation
vλ= c
As frequency gets greater,
wavelength gets smaller
constructive interference results in…
- a wave with a larger amplitude
- light
destructive interference results in…
- no wave (a straight line)
- no light
Amplitude is related to
energy/ intensity of the light
E photon=
hv OR hc/λ
