What can be learned from the interaction of light and matter?
Is there another method of separating mixtures in the lab?

The wave theory of light
The electromagnetic spectrum
c = lambda nu
Chromatrography and Rf values
The Bohr Theory
Flame tests and emission spectra
Performance testing

Students will develop the ability to:
Label all parts of a light wave
Determine the type of light given the wavelength or frequency
Use the c = lambda nu formula to calculate either wavelength or frequency
Determine the color of light by calculating its wavelength and using a spectrum chart
Set up a paper chromatography experiment and use the Rf values obtained to determine if dyes are the same
Use a spectrophotometer and chalk to determine the colors of various wavelengths of light
Analyze flame colors from metal ions in the lab
Complete a performance test in the lab to determine the effectiveness of a carpet cleaner
Become adept at using a spectrophotometer

Practice drawing and labelling waves
Use of c= lambda nu formula to determine wavelength and frequency
Use of a spectrum chart to determine type of light or color of light given a wavelength or frequency
Worksheets involving light, matter and energies of electrons
Paper chromatography lab to determine if any of the dyes in grape Kool-aid are the same as any of the dyes in standard food colors
Practice determining Rf values
Use of spec-20 to determine the color of various wavelengths of light
Prelab assignment for flame tests lab
Conduct a flame test lab to determine the color of the flame produced by various metal ions and to identify an unknown cation
