OPTICAL TECHNIQUES Flashcards
Different types of electromagnetic (7)
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible spectra
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma Rays/ cosmic rays
EMR
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
most powerful
Gamma Rays/ cosmic rays
sensitive in the eyes
Visible Spectra
is spread in the form of electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic radiation
is described as photons of energy travelling in waves
Electromagnetic radiation
is described as photons of energy travelling in waves
Electromagnetic radiation
Distance between identical points on consecutive ways
Wavelength
Distance between origin and crest (or trough)
Amplitude
Number of waves that pass a point per unit time
Frequency
= wavelength X frequency
Speed
Four basic areas of analytic techniques
Spectrophotometry
luminescence
Chromatography
Electroanalytic Method
SLCEM
_________ is inversely proportional to the frequency of the light wave
Wavelength
______ is also inversely proportional to the wavelength of light
Energy
more photons presents more energy, hence, ____________
shorter wavelengths represent higher energy
________ is a wave of alternating electric and magnetic fields
Light
What are the two types of light
Visible and Invisible
Two types of invisible (2)
Infrared
Ultraviolet
- IU
number of cycle
Frequency
wavelengths fall below the visible region
ultraviolet (190 - 340 nm)
wavelength is above
Infrared 700 nm
Light (3)
Ultraviolet
Visible
Infrared
/wavelength falls within
340 - 700 nm visible
< 190 nanometers
- contain wavelength shorter than 190 nm
These photons have such energy that they can already penetrate the flesh
(The most powerful)
X-ray and gamma radiations
Ten billion times smaller than a meter
Wavelength
Give me the three frequency
Low Frequency
Medium Frequency
High frequency
LMF
7 color of visible light
violet
indigo
blue
green
Yellow
Orange
Red
(ROYGBIV)
