Intensity conversion factors

The implication of equation (7) as it relates to PCS, is that larger particles scatter considerably more light per particle than smaller particles. Thus the intensity distributions measured by PCS heavily emphasize the presence of larger particles. If the intensity distributions measured with PCS were extremely accurate, the fact that PCS measures intensity rather than volume or number distributions would be of little consequence, provided that the proper conversion factor,... 

Absolute integrated intensities given in all tables are in practical units 109, 125), whereas it must be noted that A as defined in the text [Eq. (8)] is the Ramsay and Jones unit. Conversion factors interrelating some of the various commonly used units of intensity to practical units are to be found in Table VIII.

Under most circumstances, it is not convenient to measure the incident and reflected beams directly with the same detector because scintillator counters have a substantially smaller dynamic range than the 105- to 1010-fold difference between the direct beam flux and reflected beam flux. Instead, direct knowledge of the detector resolution, A(20), and the conversion factor between the monitor signal and the incident beam flux, amon, can be used to estimate the absolute reflectivity. Furthermore, the absolute reflectivity is well constrained by measurements close to bulk Bragg features or at the total external reflection condition near 20 0°. These intensities are dominated by bulk properties of the substrate and provide an independent calibration on the absolute reflectivity scale. 

The thermal vibrations of atoms in molecules lead to absorption bands in the infrared (IR) region (Bellamy, 1964 Colthup et al., 1964 Hesse et al., 1984). IR bands are most intense if a dipole is induced by the vibration (OH, NH, CH, C=0, C=N). The mass of the interacting atoms Ml and M2 and the bond strengths defined by a force constant f determine the wave number n or energy of an infrared absorption band v = K(f/M ) , where the reduced mass is M = MjM2/Mj+M2 and K is a constant conversion factor. The frequency n for the CH-stretch vibration is around 2900 cm for C=0 close to 1700 cm. Hydrogen bonds lead to a broadening and low-frequency shift of OH and NH vibrations (3400 cm —> 3200 cm ). 

Like many intensive properties, molarity can be used as a conversion factor between volume (L) of solution and amount (mol) of solute, from which we can find the mass or the number of entities of solute (Figure 3.9), as applied in Sample Problem 3.22. 

Here, 0i is the angle of the incoming laser beam with respect to the surface normal. For a Nd YAG laser pulse (1064 nm) of duration t = 10 ps, intensity = 10 W/cm and area f = 1 mm (corresponding to a pulse energy of 100 pj), which irradiates a monolayer of molecules with a surface susceptibility of = 10 esu, one calculates from Eq. (6.14) about 10 photons per laser pulse. In the CGS system the susceptibility is defined via The conversion factor between the two systems... 

From the experimental jx)int of view, an intense source of linearly polarized synchrotron radiation is required. The main experimental difficulty is to establish a conversion factor between the core hole splitting energy and the local spin moment. 

Density and Percent Composition Their Use in Problem Solving—Mass and volume are extensive properties they depend on the amount of matter in a sample. Density, the ratio of the mass of a sample to its volume, is an intensive property, a property independent of the amount of matter sampled. Density is used as a conversion factor in a variety of calculations. 

Commercial VPO of propane—butane mixtures was in operation at Celanese Chemical Co. plants in Texas and/or Canada from the 1940s to the 1970s. The principal primary products were acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methanol, and acetone. The process was mn at low hydrocarbon conversion (3—10%) and a pressure in excess of 790 kPa (7.8 atm). These operations were discontinued because of various economic factors, mainly the energy-intensive purification system required to separate the complex product streams.
