Friday Test Day
Honors: most of the questions on tomorrow's test come from the posted objectives but we have done THREE days of material since those objectives were posted; so expect a question on whatever was covered on waves. Significant figures will be tested on any question that involves a calculation.
Today, we discussed wave amplitude and its relation to intensity; then, we saw and heard constructive and destructive interference of waves. We discussed the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and the color wheel.
Regents: We covered the MAIN part of the Bohr Model showing the relationship between the light emission spectrum of hydrogen atoms and the possible energy levels that an electron can have.
The test tomorrow covers the material from the last test that we went over in test review as well as the Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr models of the atom as well as sig figs and scientific notation.
AP: Our "abbreviated" class (MEA CULPA! - I promise bagels or doughnuts as just compensation) discussed Calorimetry and its relation to the first law of thermo. We discussed specific heat capacity and molar heat capacity; then, time ran out. We will finish Thermochem on Monday and/or Tuesday.
Since today's class was shortened, there won't be calorimetry on tomorrow's exam. There will be questions on everything else that we covered in thermochem as well as the explanations of the gas laws, gas stoichiometry, van der waal's equation w/ explanation of the constants in the equation, Graham's Law and rms-average molecular speeds and one more general stoichiometry problem.
