The Relation Between The Photoelectric And The Photographic Effect In Silver Bromide, L. W. Butler Jan 1927

The Relation Between The Photoelectric And The Photographic Effect In Silver Bromide, L. W. Butler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Toy, Edgerton, and Vick have recently shown that the photoelectric effect in silver bromide is due to ultraviolet light of wavelength less than λ 2800A. Since the photographic effect extends to λ 5000A they concluded that there is no relation between the photoelectric and the photographic effects in silver bromide. Before this article appeared, the writer had obtained approximately the same result with silver bromide formed by fuming the surface of a silver plate. Our data was obtained by the use of more sensitive apparatus than that employed by the above named investigators. In order to prevent deterioration of …


A Spectrophotometric Method Of Studying Hemoglobin And Other Colored Substances In Solution, George E. Davis Jan 1927

A Spectrophotometric Method Of Studying Hemoglobin And Other Colored Substances In Solution, George E. Davis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

An investigation was carried out to determine the possibilities of applying spectrophotometric methods to the problem of estimating the concentration of hemoglobin in blood. The concentration of a substance in solution can easily be determined from its transmission of some particular wave length, providing the absorption ratio for that wave length is known. A late model direct reading spectrophotometer was used. The method was found to be fairly accurate and simple and should prove valuable in other physical investigations involving the study of spectral transmission curves of various colored substances. Some interesting irregularities in the shape of the spectral transmission …

The Effect Of Ultaviolet Light On The Dielectric Properties Of Crystals, Albert A. Aardal Jan 1927

The Effect Of Ultaviolet Light On The Dielectric Properties Of Crystals, Albert A. Aardal

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Measurements have been made on the dielectric properties of some of the natural crystals, and it has been shown that the values of the constants are changed upon exposure to ultraviolet light. The most important of these properties are dielectric constant, phase angle, and resistance, all of which show this variation when exposed to the short wave-lengths.

A Derivation Of The Solubility Product Law, Warren C. Vosburgh Jan 1927

A Derivation Of The Solubility Product Law, Warren C. Vosburgh

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Stieglitz1 pointed out in 1908 that the derivation of the solubility product law based on the application of the law of mass action to strong electrolytes is objectionable. Nevertheless many elementary textbooks still give it. Washburn2 later gave a satisfactory thermodynamic derivation, and Butler3 has more recently given a satisfactory statistical one. Another thermodynamic derivation is possible using the now familiar concepts of free energy and activity.


The Correlation Between Students' Grades In High School And College Physics, Chester King, John Leist Jan 1927

The Correlation Between Students' Grades In High School And College Physics, Chester King, John Leist

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study was undertaken in order to find out to what extent the achievement of a student in college Physics was similar to his achievement in high school Physics. The high school grades for the entire course of Physics were used in comparison to the first semester grades in college Physics. The data covers the records of students who entered college during a period of three years. The total number of students considered was one hundred twenty-one. With this group the formula proposed by Karl Pearson showed the coefficient of correlation to be 0.62. This is considered quite a marked …


An Objective Approach To The Study Of Certain Emotions, Emily Patterson Jan 1927

An Objective Approach To The Study Of Certain Emotions, Emily Patterson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Last year a qualitative and quantitative study of the emotions was made, emphasizing those of fear and startle. On theoretical grounds the emotion which seemed naturally to follow these was surprise, for often the emotion of surprise was closely allied in the introspective reports and in the technical procedure of arousing the several emotions. In the literature little is said about surprise. Almost always it is described as a comparatively mild emotion. Watson does not mention it among his primary emotions and few other authors consider it among the important emotions. In popular literature, however, the word is frequently found …


A Microphotometer For The Study Of Spectograms, I. J. Gwinn Jan 1927

A Microphotometer For The Study Of Spectograms, I. J. Gwinn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A modification of Harrison's microphotometer has been developed, following his suggestion, which is used for accurate measurements of line widths on spectrograms. A vertical optical system using microscope lenses focuses the light on a bismuth-silver thermocouple. Accurate readings of length are obtained with a finely constructed micrometer screw. Studies have also been made on the relative intensities of lines on both optical and X-ray spectrograms. The instrument is also of use in testing the uniformity of thin films of metal.


Thermoelectric Effect In Single Crystals Bismuth, R. W. Boydston Jan 1927

Thermoelectric Effect In Single Crystals Bismuth, R. W. Boydston

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Wires of single crystals of bismuth have been prepared by the Czrokalski method. The crystals so far investigated have been of orientations between 10° and 40°. The variations of the thermoelectric properties with orientation is rather slight in bismuth compared with similar effects in zinc as found by Linder, Grüneisen and Goens, and Bridgman.


The Phase-Theory As A Time Theory In Sound Localization, Otis C. Trimble Jan 1927

The Phase-Theory As A Time Theory In Sound Localization, Otis C. Trimble

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a preliminary study of the phenomena of localization by the method of temporal difference of arrival of sound at the two ears, we find results which so nearly coincide with results obtained by Stewart (1) and by Halverson (3) who studied the problem by means of continuous sounds of varying phase relations at the ears, that we feel justified in presenting here the phase-theory as a time-theory in sound localization.


Molecular Space Array In X-Ray Diffractioin Halos In A Liquid: The Case Of Liquid Normal Primary Alcohols: The Cybotatic State, G. W. Stewart, Roger M. Morrow Jan 1927

Molecular Space Array In X-Ray Diffractioin Halos In A Liquid: The Case Of Liquid Normal Primary Alcohols: The Cybotatic State, G. W. Stewart, Roger M. Morrow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

For more than a decade (Debye and Scherrer, Nachr. Gesell. Göttingen (1916), p. 6) the X-ray circular diffraction halo in liquids has been known. Doubtless numerous times the suggestion has been made (vide Hewlett, Phys. Rev. 20 (1922), p. 688, and others) that there is in the liquid a spacial arrangement of molecules, probably as fragmentary crystals. But definite evidence of such a structure has been lacking.


Some Errors In The Use Of Physico-Chemical Concepts In Physiology Of Bacteria, R. E. Buchanan Jan 1927

Some Errors In The Use Of Physico-Chemical Concepts In Physiology Of Bacteria, R. E. Buchanan

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Several erroneous concepts as to the application of certain of the so called laws of physical chemistry to bacteriology are current in the literature pertaining to the physiology of bacteria.


Photometric Measurements Of The Reflection Factor Of Cotton And Linen Household Materials, Earl C. Mccracken Jan 1927

Photometric Measurements Of The Reflection Factor Of Cotton And Linen Household Materials, Earl C. Mccracken

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

By means of a specially constructed reflectometer measurements have been made on the variation of the reflection factor with different methods of laundering of both cotton and linen household materials. Results show that the method of washing has a decided effect upon the permanency of the whiteness as indicated by the total reflection factor. It was found that special precautions had to be observed in the taking of this particular type of data.


Measurement Of The Quality Of Water, Jack J. Hinman Jr. Jan 1927

Measurement Of The Quality Of Water, Jack J. Hinman Jr.

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

If the problem of the measurement of the quality of water were as simple as it was once held in the judicial opinion of the Mississippi jurist Doctor Mason tells about, (1) there would not be the slightest excuse for this paper. It was the opinion of the court that any ordinary mortal could judge for himself whether or not a water was satisfactory for drinking purposes.


The Mode Of Vibration Of The Human Vocal Cords, Wolfgang Metzger Jan 1927

The Mode Of Vibration Of The Human Vocal Cords, Wolfgang Metzger

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Observation: Some of the models of the larynx used since the experiments of Johannes Mueller (when observed through the stroboscope) show transverse and alternate vibration. The question arises as to whether this is the mode of vibration of the real vocal cords or whether they rather vibrate synchronously and more in the lateral than in the transverse direction, as was assumed before.


Correlation Of Neatness And Scholarship In Physics, George E. Davis Jan 1927

Correlation Of Neatness And Scholarship In Physics, George E. Davis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

353 reports, written by 33 students in three laboratory sections of junior physics, were graded as to neatness. The average neatness grade and the term laboratory grade for each student were used in a correlation study. For each of the three laboratory sections the correlation coefficient was positive. The coefficient for all 33 students was + 0.27. Although the number of students graded was small, we may conclude that in general we may expect neatness and high grades in physics to be associated. Exceptions to the rule and a low correlation coefficient both definitely indicate that neatness of written reports …


The Relation Of Certain Medical And Physical Data To Scholastic Success, Frederic S. Beebee Jan 1927

The Relation Of Certain Medical And Physical Data To Scholastic Success, Frederic S. Beebee

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this study is to find what factors, if any, in physical development, habits, medical history, medical examination, and physical efficiency are of significance in relation to scholastic standing. It is based on the records of two groups of 1925-1926 male freshmen. The first group was composed of those men receiving the highest grade-point averages in the entire class of nearly 700. The other group was composed of those men in the class receiving the lowest grade-point averages during the same period. The group receiving high averages numbered fifty-two. The group receiving low averages numbered fifty-four. As selected, …
