Chemical dyes, which selectively absorb some wavelengths of visible light and appear with characteristic colors, are typically large molecules where the distribution of chemical bonds allows some electrons to travel easily from one end of the molecule to the other. These electrons are effectively confined to a one-dimensional box. The wavelengths of light absorbed by the molecule are then related to its length.
If a particular dye has a length of 0.90 nm, determine the three longest wavelengths that the molecule can absorb assuming an electron starts in the lowest energy level.

Chlorophyll a Absorption Spectrum of Visible Light Absorption of light (%) Which of the following wavelengths of light are not absorbed by chlorophyll a to power photosynthesis? Check all that apply. 430 nm 660 nm 530 nm 400 450 500 550 600 Wavelength (nm) 650 700 wavelength (nm) In a laboratory experiment, you take three plants and put them each under a lamp that mimics sunlight. You have three colored light filters that fit over each of the lamps: a...
Absorption and transmission: When a photon of light hits a molecule of gas or a particle in the atmosphere, there are three possibilities: 1) it can be absorbed (the energy is converted to heat), 2) it can be reflected (it continues on but in a different direction), 3) or it can be transmitted. These processes determine our ability to see distant objects (such as the mountains around Los Angeles and Irvine) and the colors in the sky (such as blue...
1. Fill out the following table by indicating which general technique (light microscopy (LM) or electron microscopy (EM]) could be used to observe each structure or phenomenon. Put "no" in the box if the technique could not be used. If light microscopy can be used, name one technique (bright-field, phase-contrast, fluorescence, etc.) that you think would be effective. You will find some useful information in Appendix 1 of this manual and Chapter 18 of your textbook. Structure or phenomenon Could...
1) Write a Reaction equation using 4- aminobenzenesulfulfonic
acid (aniline derivative) and 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid
(coupling agent). Write the mechanism.
SYNTHESIS OF AZO DYES INTRODUCTION Humans' love of color dates back almost to prehistoric times, yet it is not actually until the modern era that the full range of the rainbow has been accessible to the majority of people irn their clothes and other textiles. Ancient or medieval times have often been described as being quite splendid with their "tyrian purple"...
