Absorbance In the previous post, we introduced the term absorbance. The term absorbance quantifies the amount of light absorbed by a solution. We know from

Absorbance and Transmittance Absorbance(A) and transmittance(T) are two sides of a coin. Absorbance (A) is the amount of light absorbed and transmittance is the the
156.THE LAWS OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY (2).
The Lambert’s Law We studied in the previous post, that according to Lambert’s law, absorbance (A) is directly proportional to the path length or thickness
155.THE LAWS OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY (1).
In this post, we shall start learning about the basic laws of photochemistry. These laws form the basis of all the photochemistry we will study
154. INTRODUCTION (2).
In the previous post, we started to understand the basic difference between radiation chemistry and photochemistry. We concluded that photochemistry is a branch of radiation
153. Introduction
For a chemical reaction to occur the reacting molecules must be activated. Usually, this activation is carried out thermally i.e. by increasing the reaction temperature.
152.Electromagnetic radiation.
From this post onwards, we shall begin our discussion on a new topic in physical chemistry – Photochemistry. What comes to your mind when we
35.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE -OTHER SUB ATOMIC PARTICLES.
In this post we shall just get an overview of some recently discovered sub atomic particles.It was believed that the entire universe was made up
34.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE- Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.
Werner Heisenberg, was a German theoretical physicist,who was studying under Sommerfield.Sommerfield knew about Heisenberg’s interest in Niels Bohr’s thesis and so he introduced him to
33. Schrödinger Equation.
The contention between Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr was carried forward and taken to a new level by their respective students – Erwin Schrödinger and Werner
32.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE- Understanding de broglie’s thesis,Wave Mechanics vs Quantum Mechanics
In the last post we discussed how the de broglie’s hypothesis was validated by experimental data obtained from ,the double-slit experiment,performed by Davisson and Germer.
31. Experimental validation of De Broglie’s thesis.
Scrupulously proved to be true in theory, any scientific thesis cannot be considered absolute until it is proved by experimental data. As a theoretical physicist,
