Tuesday November 13th

Labs are due today. Your homework is to begin reading chapter 7 and choose 3 red excercises from the first three sections, as before. In class on Tuesday you will use the same technique as you did in Lab 7 to determine if you can prove the Rydberg equation works for hydrogen (I have a working sample for you all to use together). Lets make this work quick, you only have 50 minutes! The write up for this activity is on a single sheet of notebook paper, and you only need to write about your procedure and your calculations - I already know the set up and the background. At the end of the calculations, you need to write a statement about whether you have proven the Rydberg equation works for Hydrogen or not. Whatever you conclude, you need to give some thoughts on WHY it MIGHT only work for Hydrogen and not the other samples we looked at. I will be there on Thursday, and we'll have another lab! See you then, write comments if you have questions.
