The same as for any particle absorbing electromagnetic radiation: the wavelength at which the largest amount of absorption occurs.

Relationship between color and lambda max?

We can see color in the visible region of the spectrum (400-700 nanometers). If the light absorbed by something is visible, this absorption results in the COMPLIMENT of that color being seen by the human eye. For instance: if the wavelength is 400-424 nanometers, purple is absorbed, and the compliment (opposite) of it is yellow, so you see something that absorbs wavelengths 400-424 nanometers as YELLOW. When you plot value of light absorbed (Y-axis) vs. Wavelength of incident light (X-axis), lambda max is the tallest peak on the graph, explained: let's say that highest peak is at wavelength of 532, this means that most of the light absorbed is of wavelength=532 nanometers, which is green... the complimentary color to green is red... therefore, your eye will see red, not green.


Design and complete a concept map using element anode cathode electron alpha particle proton neutron electron cloud?

Sure, here is a concept map for you: Anode: positive electrode in an electrical cell where oxidation occurs Cathode: negative electrode where reduction takes place Electron: negatively charged subatomic particle found in atoms Alpha particle: a type of nuclear radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons Proton: positively charged subatomic particle found in atomic nuclei Neutron: neutral subatomic particle found in atomic nuclei Electron cloud: region around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found


Why cant you determine the exact location of an electron in an atom?

Because the electrons are in constant motion(momentum), so to find their exact location one must find this location plus momentum at the same time. It is thought to be impossible to find the exact location and momentum simultaniously, because, to find location you must stop the particle, and to find momentum the particle must be moving.


Is ozone a gas or a layer?

Ozone is a gas that can exist in the Earth's atmosphere as well as at ground level. The ozone layer refers to a region of high ozone concentration in the stratosphere that helps protect the Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

What is the probability of finding a particle in a specific region?

The probability of finding a particle in a specific region is determined by the wave function of the particle, which describes the likelihood of finding the particle at different locations. This probability is calculated by taking the square of the absolute value of the wave function, known as the probability density.
