Lab 11: Tools of the Light Trade

Awesome explanation of electrons, orbitals, color, dyes

Second website covering wavelengths, molecules, absorbance

Technical discussion of molecular structure and absorbance

Cool imaging of orbitals

Flame Tests (absorbance of different elements; actual spectra shown)

What's missing in sunlight (spectrum showing missing wavelengths b/c of absorbance by solar material)

Subjective & objective aspects of color (Do you see what I see when we see 'green'?)

Pink/Magenta is an 'irrational' color

Molecular basis of pH indicators

Molecule that changes color based on physical tension
