The purpose of this lab was to experimentally apply the concepts of the law of reflection and Snell’s law to reflected and transmitted light using a beam of light, a mirror, a plexiglass prism, and a small container of water. The law of reflection states that Θi = Θr (the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection). Transmitted light is subject to Snell’s law, which holds that n1sinΘ1 = n2sinΘ2, where n is the medium’s distinct index of refraction. Using a tabletop setting, a beam

know when you’ll have to use it. In this week’s small group discussion, i learned so much from my classmates. Some of my peers did a linear equation reflection on they’re personal health, losing weight, making baby food, giving medicine to a baby, paycheck vs. expenses, a pool party, shopping, personal business, and budgeting. All examples of linear equations in real life. The example i was most impressed with was making baby food and giving medicine to a little child. I do not have any children,

David O. Johnston David Lipscomb College I II The Methclnolysir of Acetal A chemical kinetics a n d g a r chromatography experiment Nashville, Tennessee The methanolysis of acetal and gas chromatography complement perfectly to provide a rare and interesting experiment for the physical chemistry student. The reaction of acetal with methanol is a consecutive reaction in which diethyl acetal (aretal) replaces its two ethoxy groups with methoxy groups forming methy1et)hylacetal first

Addition of Matrices Denote the sum of two matrices A and B (of the same dimensions) by C = A + B.. The sum is defined by adding entries with the same indices [pic] over all i and j. Example: [pic] Subtraction of Matrices Subtraction is performed in analogous way. Example: [pic] Scalar multiplication To multiply a matrix with a real number, we multiply each element with this number. Example: [pic] Multiplication of a row vector by a column vector This multiplication is only possible

Michaelis-Menten Kinetics: The Enzyme-Catalyzed Hydrolysis of Sucrose1 Background Of the numerous chemical reactions whose kinetics have been studied, some of the most interesting and complex are those which take place in living organisms. These reactions, when studied under non-biological conditions (lack of organisms and their various biomolecules), are often exceptionally slow: often hours or days, and sometimes even years are required before equilibrium is reached. Yet life requires seconds

Linear equations in two variables Forms for 2D linear equations Linear equations can be rewritten using the laws of elementary algebra into several different forms. These equations are often referred to as the "equations of the straight line." In what follows, x, y, t, and θ are variables; other letters represent constants (fixed numbers). General form where A and B are not both equal to zero. The equation is usually written so that A ≥ 0, by convention. The graph of the equation is a straight

Diese Form der Algebra beschäftigt sich mit mathematischen Aussagen und ihren Verknüpfungen. Dabei gelten Aussagen als mathematisch, wenn sie klar als wahr (w) bzw. falsch (f) zu bezeichnen sind. Wahre Aussagen werden durch einer "1" dargestellt, falsche durch eine "0". Beispiel: Eine mathematische Aussage wäre: 1. Innsbruck liegt in Tirol. (wahre Aussage) 2. Das Münchner Gymnasium hat 10000 Schüler. (falsche Aussage) Dagegen aber keine mathematische Aussage wäre: 1. Schule

Simple Linear Regression Previously we tested for a relationship between two categorical variables, but what if are interest involved two quantitative variables? You may recall from algebra the line equation: Y = mX + b where Y is the dependent variable; m is the slope of the line; X is the independent variable; and b is the y-intercept. In algebra you usually had a perfect line, i.e. each X and Y pair fell exactly on the line, however in statistics this rarely the case. The concept begins
