Light illustration

Polypropylene molecules repeatedly fold upon themselves to form lamellae, the sizes of which ate a function of the crystallisa tion conditions. Higher degrees of order are obtained upon formation of crystalline aggregates, or spheruHtes. The presence of a central crystallisation nucleus from which the lamellae radiate is clearly evident in these stmctures. Observations using cross-polarized light illustrates the characteristic Maltese cross model (Fig. 2b). The optical and mechanical properties ate a function of the size and number of spheruHtes and can be modified by nucleating agents. Crystallinity can also be inferred from thermal analysis (28) and density measurements (29). 

By this step, the applied evaluation process (value benefit analysis) is used to help the business establish clarity and objectivity in assessing the situation. Colour coding helps to better understand the potential improvement. "Traffic light illustrations" distinctly show the complexity of issues. 

Misuse example The earth s auroras—the northern and southern lights—illustrate how energy from the sun travels to our planet. —Science News, 149, June 1,1996. This sentence blurs understanding of the process by which energetic charged particles from the sun interact with the earth s magnetic field and our atmosphere to result in the aurorae. 

Figure 1.7 Paths of rays in white light illustrating chromatic aberration.

For our purposes, we will not need to use Maxwell s equations themselves we can focus on a solution to these equations for a particular situation such as the plane wave of monochromatic, polarized light illustrated in Fig. 3.3. In a uniform, homogeneous, nonconducting medium with no free charges. Maxwell s equations for in a one-dimensional plane wave reduce to...

Of the general formula, R - S — H, where R represents an aliphatic or cyclic radical, the thiols —also known as mercaptans— are acidic in behavior owing to their S—H functional group they are corrosive and malodorous. Their concentration in crude oils is very low if not zero, but they are created from other sulfur compounds during refining operations and show up in the light cuts, as illustrated in Table 8.6. 

Fig. VI-4. Illustration of the surface force apparatus with the crossed-cylinder geometry shown as an inset. The surface separations are determined from the interference fringes from white light travelling vertically through the apparatus. At each separation, the force is determined from the deflection in the force measuring spring. For solution studies, the entire chamber is filled with liquid. (From Ref. 29.)...

Phospholipid molecules form bilayer films or membranes about 5 nm in thickness as illustrated in Fig. XV-10. Vesicles or liposomes are closed bilayer shells in the 100-1000-nm size range formed on sonication of bilayer forming amphiphiles. Vesicles find use as controlled release and delivery vehicles in cosmetic lotions, agrochemicals, and, potentially, drugs. The advances in cryoelec-tron microscopy (see Section VIII-2A) in recent years have aided their characterization [70-72]. Additional light and x-ray scattering measurements reveal bilayer thickness and phase transitions [70, 71]. Differential thermal analysis... 

Figure Bl.18.12. Illustration that only light reflected from object points in the focal plane contributes to the image. If the light is reflected from areas below the focal plane, only a small fraction can pass through the pinliole so that light from those areas does not contribute to the image. The pinliole in front of the detector is exaggerated in size for the sake of presentation.

This also illustrates the use of different wavelengths of light to obtain much more infomration on the nature of the film. Here A and T are plotted versus the wavelength of light ( ) and the line drawn tln-ough these data represents a fit calculated for the various fihns of yttrium oxide deposited on silica as shown at tire bottom of the figure [40],...

It is clear tliat, given a well characterized light source, tliere are many attributes we can attempt to control (wavelengtli, polarization, etc.) tire question is how to generate well-characterized light ... 

The formation of an organosodium compound (p-tolyl-sodium) is well illustrated by the interaction of sodium sand or wire with p-chlorotoluene in light petroleum (b.p. 40-60°) at about 25°, for when the reaction mixture is added to excess of solid carbon dioxide pure/ -toluic acid is obtained directly in a yield exceeding 70 per cent. ... 

Besides the intrinsic usefulness of Fourier series and Fourier transforms for chemists (e.g., in FTIR spectroscopy), we have developed these ideas to illustrate a point that is important in quantum chemistry. Much of quantum chemistry is involved with basis sets and expansions. This has nothing in particular to do with quantum mechanics. Any time one is dealing with linear differential equations like those that govern light (e.g. spectroscopy) or matter (e.g. molecules), the solution can be written as linear combinations of complete sets of solutions. 

A scintillator, sometimes known as the Daly detector, is an ion collector that is especially useful for studies on metastable ions. The principle of operation is illustrated in Figure 28.4. As with the first dynode of an electron multiplier, the arrival of a fast ion causes electrons to be emitted, and they are accelerated toward a second dynode. In this case, the dynode consists of a substance (a scintillator) that emits photons (light). The emitted light is detected by a commercial photon... 

If the light source is switched on and off and held for long periods of equal duration in either light or darkness, then the radical concentration in the system will consist of an alternation between the situation described in Figs. 6.5a and b. Because we have specified that the duration of each phase is long, the net behavior is essentially a series of plateaus in which the illumination is either Iq or zero and the radical concentration is either [M], or zero, with brief transitions in between. This is illustrated in Fig. 6.5c. The concentration of radicals is consistent with Iq, but is present only half of the time hence the rate of polymerization is only half what it would be for the same illumination operating continuously.
