Chapter 7, Problem 7.1QP
Give a brief wave description of light. What are two characteristics of light waves?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The definition of light in terms of wave and properties of light has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Light is defined as wave in form of electromagnetic radiation. Light has oscillations in electric and magnetic fields and can pass through space.
The distance between any two similar points of a wave is called wavelength
Figure 1
Frequency is defined as number of wavelengths of a wave that can pass through a point in one second.
Explanation of Solution
To explain: The definition of light in terms of wave and properties of light
- Light is defined as wave in form of electromagnetic radiation. Light has oscillations in electric and magnetic fields and can pass through space.
- Wave is in form of continuous repeating oscillation in any physical field or matter.
- When you throw a stone into a pond, the water in the pond moves up and down of water surface. This movement is the perfect example for wave.
- Wavelength and frequency are two properties of light.
Conclusion
The light in terms of wave and properties of light was given with an example.

- You wish to add enough NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) to a 150 m³ swimming pool to provide a dose of 5.0 mg/L TOTOCI as Cl2. (a) How much NaOCI (kg) should you add? (Note: the equivalent weight of NaOCl is based on the reaction: NaOCl + 2H + 2 e→CI + Na +H₂O.) (10 pts) (atomic weight: Na 23, O 16, C1 35.5) (b) The pH in the pool after the NaOCl addition is 8.67. To improve disinfection, you want at least 90% of the TOTOCI to be in the form of HOCI (pKa 7.53). Assuming that HOCI/OCI is the only weak acid/base group in solution, what volume (L) of 10 N HCl must be added to achieve the goal? (15 pts) Note that part a) is a bonus question for undergraduate students.
