    Study Notes

    Diffraction & Spectroscopy

    • Semiconductors: Spectroscopy involves plotting intensity/amplitude against various parameters (E, ω, π, λ). This is crucial for understanding material properties.

    • Solids, Liquids, & Gases: Diffraction techniques, like X-ray and electron diffraction, are vital for structural analysis. Bragg's Law (ηλ = 2dsinθ) describes constructive interference in crystal structures. The structure of solids, liquids and gases is dependent on factors such as cooling rate. Types of ice include amorphous and crystalline ice.

    • Electromagnetic Waves: Composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. A changing electric field creates a changing magnetic field.

    Properties of Electromagnetic Waves

    • Amplitude: Maximum strength of the EM wave

    • Wavelength: Distance between corresponding points on successive waves

    • Frequency: Number of waves passing a point per second (measured in Hertz)

    • Speed: In a vacuum, the speed of EM waves is constant (3x108 m/sec)

    Electromagnetic Wave Equations

    • Equations for EM waves in free space are based on Faraday's Law and Gauss's law.
    • The equations are crucial for understanding wave behavior in free space.
    • Crucial factors included for understanding the behavior of light waves are wavelength, frequency, and the speed and propagation of the wave.

    Spectroscopy

    • UV-Vis Spectroscopy: UV-Vis spectra are used to analyze molecules and their interaction with light. This spectral range is crucial for identifying molecules, monitoring reaction progress, understanding the chemical environment, and determining concentrations of solutes in solutions

    • Functional Form of Wave: The functional form of a wave is expressed as a relationship between its frequency, electric field, and a variable.

    • Materials: The different physical states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) have distinct characteristics that influence spectroscopic interactions.

    • Applications: Spectroscopy is extensively used in different fields, including materials science, biochemistry, and environmental science.

    Inelastic Processes

    • Elastic and Inelastic Processes: Elastic processes involve no energy exchange. Inelastic processes involve energy exchange with the system.

    • Energy Levels: The energy levels of atoms and molecules, and how they change during interactions
