Does the extinction coefficient increase if the wavelength is increased?

A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.

No, not usually. Each compound has a unique absorption spectrum, and the extinction coefficient of a compound increases and decreases at different wavelengths depending on the compound. Most compounds do absorb strongly in the ultaviolet region (UV), which means that often the absorption (and extinction coefficient) often do increase a shorter wavelengths (higher energies).

Does the solubility of BaSO4 increase significantly as temperature of solution is increased?
yesp
How can the rate of thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate be increased?
Increase the temperature
Increased temperature usually leads to an increase in reaction rate because collisions are?
The increase in reaction rate is due to an increase in the number of collisions. This is because an increase of temperature causes an increase in molecular motion.
An increase in temperature will cause the rate of a chemical reaction to?
Increasing the temperature the dissolving rate increase.
Will increased hydronium ions increase pH levels?
no it will decrease the pH levels
As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?
frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
What happenes to the wave speed as the wavelength increased?
Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength. If the wavelength increases and the frequency stays the same, then the speed of the wave will increase.
What happens to the wavelength when the speed is increased and frequency stays the same?
The wavelength would increase in direct proportion to the speed.
How would the wavelength of a wave change if the speed of the wave increased but not the frequency?
The wavelength would increase by the same proportion.
When the block of mass is increased is there an increase in the value of coefficient of kinetic friction?
No, coefficient of friction is dependent on the materials in contact, not their mass. However the FORCE of friction will increase as the mass increases in this case.
When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?
If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps
What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?
I believe that the speed will remain constant, and the new wavelength will be half of the original wavelength. Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength). This depends on the method used to increase the frequency. If the tension on the string is increased while maintaining the same length (like tuning up a guitar string), then the speed will increase, rather than the wavelength.
Predict how the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?
I think by it going faster makes it increase..
What happened to the coefficients of friction as the surface area of the contact increased?
As the coefficient of friction is not function of the area or not related to the area of the contact surface so the coefficient of friction remains constant on the increase of the contact area. The coefficient of friction depends upon the material of the friction surfaces only.
What are two ways you can increase the frictional force between two objects?
1. Increase the normal reaction acting on the objects by pressing them together. 2. Increase the coarse nature of the surfaces so that the coefficient of friction is also increased.
When wavelength decreases does the frequency increase or decrease?
The wavelength is inverse to the frequency, meaning the frequency in this case will increase.
What happens to the frequency if you increase your wavelength and keep wave speed the same?
There is no way to change the wave speed, propagation speed other than changing the density of the medium. If you increase the frequency the wavelength gets shorter, which is true with both light and sound, so if the wavelength is increased the frequency will be less. Since the speed slows in a denser material we can make lenses and prisms.
