The purpose of this spectroscopy, atomic spectra, and light lab was to further your understanding of how different gases are given specific wavelengths based on the variety of color that their light gives off. (Grossie, 285). Every ion gives off a different light configuration based on the amount of energy they hold. (Grossie, 285). A spectroscope is used to break down the light given off by the gas into different colored lines in different areas on the scope. The measure of these lines is what…

With fluoride’s recent classification as hazardous waste, fluoridation policies have come under renewed scrutiny. While there is no question that excessive amounts of…

Heat as the mechanical theory states, is produced by matter in motion and the production of thermometers assisted in measuring it. Early thermometers proved to have no freezing or boiling reference points such Galileo’s air thermometer or Newton’s mercury scale. Only after Fahrenheit’s and Celsius’s scale did scientists now have fixed points of reference on a thermometer in order to clarify the difference between quantity of heat and temperature such as Amontons observation of expanded gases…
