Reminders!!! :D (?!)

Hi people :D;

      Now that it’s a new schoolyear, let’s start things right and get to work on our requirements! (WHAT?! ALREADY?!) YES!!! WE MUST!!! I WARN YOU NOW, IF YOU TRY CRAMMING THIS QUARTER, YOU WILL SUFFER :P (*Whooo…). So to help you in your RESPONSIBLE ENDEAVORS (haha, nice joke! or was it?! :o) here’s a list of things you ought to know, things you might want to know, and things-that-you-definitely-don’t-want-to-know-but-I’m-telling-you-anyway… HAPPY STUDYING! (wait, is that even possible? Well, I’m quite sure it is, so…) So, just to shake things up, I made this post a bit humorous to help you ENJOY studying…. (I wonder who said this…. ;D)

ART - We must…. build… a… bridge… (WHAT?! Yeah, yeah enough whining, this is only the 1st thing on the list, at this rate you might have a cardiac [ar]R[e]S[t] before this list is over…. CHILLAX [a la Sir Leo; sosyal]). Specifics: the bridge must be in the arch or truss style of construction (*note: it has to also be a suspension bridge), it’s load-bearing capacities will be tested by having an RC car move over the bridge (*note: the bridge MUST span the… creek… Just imagine the fresh air… Breath in deep…. AHHH– *faints*)

We also need to submit the Acrylic Painting (to frame or not to frame, that is NOT a question, may bonus kapag may frame) on the 3rd week of January (oh, that’s till far off… NO IT ISN’T, GET TO WORK)

*Read Learning to Look by J. Taylor pp. 12, 13, 26, 27, 28, 29, 58-59, 83-86 (that seems ok… if I actually do it…)

BIO- Well, for now, just get started on your advocacies (YOU’LL THANK ME LAAAAAAATER… :P)

ENG - And now, from the home of our FAVORITE SUBJECT (boy, we have a lot of those) IIIIIIIIIIT’S ENGLISH!!! yay. Annywaayyy…. all we have to do here is Finish our LT on Things Fall Apart and give a draft of our research (if not done already). Oh, better start reading Cry, the Beloved Country [or you might just Cry for your Beloved Bedtime when you have to cram a day before (but that won't happen.... RIGHT?)]

MUSIC- Well, this one’s a bit difficult… first LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR, then COMPOSE A SIMPLE SONG (utilizing chords)….. ’nuff said.

PHYS- Read the article on chimes by Haworth (or was it Hayworth? Hamond?…. just see IC’s post below) and get to work… Ahhh… chimes…. lots of experience THERE….

TSK- Finish Chimes [as if you didn't know that already ;)] AND SOMETHING EXTRA… 1st, get a copy of the handouts (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT), then, list down as many technical terms (a.k.a. VOCAB) from the handout (as well as their layman’s definitions, this may not be required); then on Monday, the class will have a contest by group (paramihan ‘to, kaya magbasa; hehehe…) SURPRISE!

Some Other Reminders:

• Paper Drive: ’nuff said
• Class funds: bayad na kayo. PLEEEEAAAAASE?
• Our Reco and Field Trip are oming soon! :D

Well…. THAT’S ALL FOLKS!!!

Ro-anne’s Fil Group || EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

Hi people :D,

     Ito na yung “stuff” (stuff?; what stuff?) para sa Fil clearbook (a.k.a. yung “Pagsususuri sa El Fili“) :O. Yeah. I know. :O…

     Kaya…. mga groupmates ko at ni Ro-anne (a.k.a. Lara, Mark, Jayson, Chari, at Paul) heto na yung mga “tips” at takdang-aralin (assignments(?)) n’yo:

I. Talasalitaan: ako (Nino) na ang bahala dito, pero paki-usap lang, paki-send (ulit) yung inyong mga salita (para sigurado, lalung-lalo na ang Kab. 31, dahil walang bigay si **** sa akin!). Salamat! :D

II. Mahahalagang Pangyayari/ Mahahalagang Kaisipan: ako na rin ang bahala dito, dahil nasa akin na yung mga “buod” (lilinisin ko na lang tapos i-piprint ko na lang sa photo paper…. o kahit anong papel na magandang tignan)…. PERO: kung gusto nila Kab. 33 at 34 na itaas ang kanilang mga marka (o kung trip lang nila), pwede silang magpasa ng “buod” ng kanilang kabanata bago o sa araw ng Enero 1, 2009, pagkatapos nito,  ay hindi tatanggapin ang kahit anong “buod” na ipapasa.

III. Pagsusuri sa mga Tauhan/ Pagpapahalagang Pangkatauhan: Ito na (at ang pang-4 na bahagi) ay ang tunay na basehan sa inyong mga marka. Dito, kailangan n’yong gumawa ng “buod” ng bawat tauhan (na MAHALAGA SA KUWENTO) (hal: Kab. 31 – Mataas na Kawani, Basilio, Kapitan-heneral, atbp.); kailangan na nakalagay sa inyong “buod” A. kailan mo siyang unang nakita (sa kabanata na iyan), B. ang papel niya sa kwento (optional ito, pero may bonus ang gagawa), C. ang kanyang katangian (pisikal at mental)(kung nakasabi), D. at ang kanyang ugali. Ang takda dito ay parehas sa mga nakatakdang kabanata (pero kung nalimutan n’yo na ay ito na: 31 – Paul, 32 – Jayson at Ro-anne, 33 – Mark, 34 – Lara, 35 – Chari at Nino) (sa 32 at 35, mag-text na lang kayo sa isa’t isa para maayos n’yo ang gagawin n’yo). Ito ay kailangan na sa Enero 3, 2009 (lahat ng ipapasa pagkatapos ng araw na ito ay hindi na tatnggapin). *Kapag may tauhan na umulit (hal: si Isagani (Kab. 32 at 35)) ay gagawa na lang ang nakatakda sa 32 (tapos ang nakatakda sa 35 ay magdadagdag na lang ng A. sa ginawa ng nakatakda sa 32).

IV. Pag-uugnay sa Kasalukuyang Panahon: Dito, kinakailangan na kumuha kayo ng artikulo sa dyaryo o kaya sa magasin o  internet na may kaugnayan sa mga isyu na nailathala sa El Fili (hal: Kab. 31 – ang mga dahilan kung bakit naiwan si Basilio sa kulungan). Kailangang may dahilan sa pagpipili at may explanasyon ng artikulo. Parehas ng kanina yung pagtatakda maliban kay Nino at Ro-anne, si Ro-anne ay kasama sa Kab. 31 at si Nino ay kasama sa Kab. 33 (kagaya ng kanina, mag-text   na lang kayo para maayos ninyo ang gagawin n’yo). Lahat ay kailangang ipasa bago ng o sa araw ng Enero 5, 2009; lahat ng magpapasa pagkatapos nito ay hindi matatala.

V. Pagsasanay:  ako na lang ang gagawa, PERO:  kung gusto niyong magkaroon ng bonus ay gumawa kayo ng 3 tanong sa kabanatang itinakda sa inyo. Kailangan ito sa Enero 2, 2009; hindi tatanggapin ang ipapasa pagkatapos ng araw na ‘to. Salamat! :D

Mga paalala:

*Ipasa n’yo na lang ang lahat sa akin (Nino) (dahil ako naman yung editor). Kailangan nakalagay ang pangalan mo, ang kabanata mo, at ang petsa ng paggagawa. Hindi tatanggapin ang may kulang sa tatlo. (note: ang aking e-mail add. ay: ninoggana@yahoo.com, ang aking Y!m ay: ninoggana,  at ang aking cellphone no. ay: +(63)917 – 538 – 4286)

*Seryoso kami ni Ro-anne sa mga deadline. Kung meron kayong tanong, i-text  mo na lang sa akin o kaya kay Ro-anne (note: Ang cellphone no. ni Ro-anne ay: (i-text n’yo na lang ako, pati na rin para sa Y!m at e-mail add. n’ya)).

*Good Luck! Manigong Bagong Taon! :D

-Nino :D

Ø       PROTON: made up of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark [2/3+2/3+(-1/3)]

Ø       NEUTRON: made up of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks [2/3+(-1/3)+(-1/3)]

 

PROBLEM SET 2: Quantum Mechanics

14. Explain why the spectral lines are discontinuous when the light from an elemental gas like sodium is seen through a spectroscope.

15. (For this time, never mind this question since this is based on an experiment we have never done yet.) Refer to the flame test activity: are the electrons in the gas in the nichrome wire in the ground state or in the excited state when it is not placed over the flame? Explain your answer.

16. The quantum mechanical model of the atom includes (explain your choice)

                a. all of the Bohr model

                b. part of the Bohr model

                c. no part of Bohr model

17. Which among the ff. are not quantized?

                a. shoelaces

                b. cars passing through NLEX tollgate

                c. droplets of water from defective faucet

                d. flow of a river in km³/hr

                e. the opening and closing of an automatic door (One which senses your presence)

18. What kind of light would be emitted by atoms if electron energy were not quantized? Why?

19. Comment on the common picture of the atom showing one or more electrons whirling around the nucleus of an atom.  To whom do we credit such atomic model?

20. Explain what you think of that common picture.  What is wrong with it?

21. A ______is made up of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks, while a _______is made up of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark

 

PROBLEM SET 3: Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom (some may have questions; some may only have information)

1. PLANCK’S QUANTUM THEORY

Energy can be released (or absorbed) by atoms only in discrete “chunks” of some minimum amount, called QUANTUM that can be emitted or absorbed as electromagnetic radiation.  He proposed that energy or E of a single quantum varies directly to its frequency (v).  If we used this as an equation:

E=h*v where equals h is Planck’s constant (6.63 * 10^-34 Joule-second)

a. If Planck’s theory were correct, why aren’t its effect more obvious in our daily lives?

b. Why is it that in most situations, energy changes seem continuous and not discrete, or quantized?

2. EINSTEIN’S PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT

Experiments show the light shining on a clean metal surface causes the surface to emit electrons.  For each metal, there is a minimum frequency of light below which no electrons are emitted.  For example, light with a frequency of 4.60 * 10¹⁴/s or higher will cause cesium metals to emit electrons.  If the frequency is lower, no electron is emitted.  Einstein assumed that the radiant energy striking the metal surface is a stream of tiny energy packets, called photons.

a. To emit electrons from sodium metal, a photon with a minimum energy of 4.41 * 10^-19 J is needed.  What is the minimum frequency of light necessary to emit electrons from sodium through photoelectric effect?

b. What is the wavelength of light?

c. If sodium is irradiated with light of 439 nm, what is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons?

d. What is the maximum number of electrons that can be freed by a burst of light whose total energy is 1.00 μJ?

3. DE BROGLIE’S MATTER WAVES

If light, under appropriate conditions, behave as though it were a stream of particles, could matter, also under appropriate conditions, possibly show the behavior or properties of a wave? If the electron which orbits around the nucleus could be thought of as a wave, then, as De Broglie suggested, it follows that electron has particular wavelength associated with it.  The characteristic wavelength of the electron or of any other particle depends on its mass, m, and velocity, u.  Thus

λ (wavelength) = h/(m*u) (m*u is the object’s momentum). 

De Broglie called these wave characteristics MATTER WAVES.

Find λ of the following objects

a. a 55 kg student skating at 40 km/hr

b. a Lithium atom moving at 2.5 * 10⁵ m/s

4. WERNER HEISENBERG’S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

Can you determine electron’s position, direction of motion, and speed at any time, that shows wave properties? A wave extends in space, and its location is not precisely defined.  Heisenberg concluded that wave characteristic of matter puts a fundamental limitation on how precisely we can know both the location and momentum of any object. 

UNCERTAINTY PRINCILE: states that it is impossible for us to determine the exact position and momentum of an electron at the same time. 

It also showed the flaw of Bohr’s model which described the electron of H atom in a well-defined orbit around the nucleus.

5. ERWIN SCHRÖDINGER’S WAVE EQUATION

(Solutions are not discussed in the high school chemistry)

His wave equation describes behavior of Hydrogen’s electron. 

WAVE FUNCTIONS: solutions to the wave equation; predict the allowed energy states of an electron and the probability of finding that electron in a given location

6. QUANTUM NUMBERS, ENERGY LEVELS, AND ORBITALS

ORBITAL: region where electron can be found

PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER, n: measures the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus, not the radius of the well –defined orbit

                Values: 1, 2, 3, 4, …

SECOND QUANTUM NUM, / (or azimuthal quantum number): defines the shape of orbital

                Values: 0 to n-1

THIRD QUANTUM NUM, m (magnetic quantum number): orientation of orbital in space

                Values: between / and -/, including 0

ELECTRON SHELL: collection of orbitals

All n=2 orbitals are said to be in the second shell

SUBSHELL: refers to the set of orbitals which have the same n and / values

n squared: total number of orbitals in a shell

EVERY ORBITAL: can have maximum no. of 2 electrons

What is the difference between Bohr’s orbit and the quantum mechanical model’s orbital?

Soc sci quiz credit homework.

A very Taoist story (by Sir Martin, please ignore the parentheses statements)

A man was traveling in the forest.
Suddenly, a tiger came.(ooo..)
The tiger chased the man in the forest.(duh)
The man encountered a cliff.(how fortunate)
The man decided to jump off the cliff to escape the tiger.(genius.)
The man got hold of a vine (how unlucky)
The man decided to go back up, but there is the tiger waiting for him.(arghhh)
So the man decided to go down, but, there is another tiger waiting for him there. (yeah)
Now he is hanging there. (cool)
As he is hanging there, there came 2 rats, 1 black & 1 white, and they started chewing onto the vine.
The man said that he is stuck in this situation.
The man noticed a strawberry not far away from him.
He decided to lose the grip of one hand on the vine, and used it to get the strawberry.
And then, he ate the strawberry.
The End.

So, symbols:

Man – MAn (duh)
The 1st tiger – your past
the other tiger – yor future
the vine – yor life
your grip on the vine – our struggle to srvive.
the black and white mouse – night and day

As you analyze htese events, ou can see that it is about our lives, and how we live it. Now, sir martin gave this question:

What is your strawberry?

on a whole sheet of pad paper, write yor answer and submit to Sir Martin by Tuesday.:)
