Automatic Hydrogen-Sulphide Generator, George Atchison

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Supplying hydrogen-sulphide gas for a small class in qualitative analysis is usually a difficult problem in a small laboratory. This problem was solved at Upper Iowa University by using the commercial product "Aitch-tu-ess" (H2S) as the source of the gas and setting up the apparatus. This method was found to be both economical and convenient and eliminated practically all of the undesirable odor which so often accompanies a qualitative analysis laboratory.

Comparison Of Some Commercially Available Photographic Negative Materials, Harris Hug

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Characteristic curves have been made for several types of negative films manufactured by Eastman Kodak Co. and of corresponding films manufactured by Agfa Ansco Corporation. Although the curves are remarkably similar, there are a few interesting differences.

Large Angle Scattering And Energy Loss Of Potassium Ions Scattered By Argon, Krypton, Xenon, And Mercury Vapor, Arthur G. Rouse

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Potassium ions with energies of 90 to 360 volts were scattered by single collisions in the mentioned gases. The energy of the potassium ion after collision has been found to agree with the expected energy assuming conservation of energy and momentum. The angular distribution of the scattered ions is found to vary with the initial energy of the ion and with the target atom, becoming particularly interesting above the ionization potential.

Two Experiments For First Year Students Of Physics, W. H. Kadesch

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the first of these the acceleration due to gravity is measured by timing by means of an electrically driven tuning fork the descent of a small metal ball. The start and finish of the fall are recorded electrically on a rotating drum on which the fork is also making a trace. In the second experiment the average velocity of air molecules is measured by finding the volume per second of the gas emerging from a region of higher pressure (usually atmospheric) into one of low pressure, through a small orifice of measured diameter.

Wetting Of Hot Metal Filaments By Molten Metals, M. Alden Countryman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In making thin films of metal by evaporation it is often convenient to evaporate the metal from an incandescent metal filament. In order that evaporation may take place properly the molten metal being evaporated must wet the incandescent filament. The work previously reported on the wetting of metal filaments by molten metals has been extended to include tantalum as a filament material. This report brings the work up to date. It includes the following metals as filament materials: nickel, platinum, molybdenum, tantalum, and tungsten. The following metals were evaporated from the molten state: aluminum, silver, gold, copper, nickel, chromium, and …

A Study On The Effectiveness Of A Motion Picture On Immediate And Long-Time Retention, C. J. Lapp

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the school year 1935-36 the subject of sound was taught to one group of students by motion picture and to another group by lectures and demonstration. The effectiveness of the two methods has been measured by two objective and one essay examination for immediate learning and by one objective and one essay for long-time retention. The methods are compared.

Growth Conditions For Zinc Crystals, J. S. Kellough

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Previous work by Schilling¹ showed that additions of Cadmium were necessary to produce conditions favorable to growth of single crystals. The present work has to do with the effect of other impurities on growth conditions. At present it has been found, by using zinc with somewhat less iron impurity than Schilling's zinc but with the same addition of Cadmium, that the region favorable to growth is more like the original one of Hoyem and Tyndall and considerably different from Schilling's region.

Current Views With Reference To The Nature Of Liquid Structure, G. W. Stewart

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This is a report of progress in the study of the structure of liquids, analogous to the crystal structure of solids. Prins has given a mathematical treatment wherein the crystal structure is approximated to an expressed degree of probability. Bernal has made this treatment more general. These efforts advance the subject by giving models capable of mathematical description. Experiments in Raman effect continue to show that the intermolecular forces in the liquid are much like those in the crystal solid. The study of glasses shows their crystallite structure and emphasizes the difference between glass and liquid. These results, as others, …

A Descriptive Glossary Of Physics, Le Roy D. Weld

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In 1933 I exhibited to the Physics Section of the Academy a crude collection of about 3,500 definitions of physical terms in card-index form, compiled for and used by the physics students of Coe College. The hope was then expressed that means might be found to promote the extension and eventual publication of this glossary.

Hysteresis In Zinc Crystals, E. P. T. Tyndall

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Hanson found that crystals under bending stress showed a small amount of "elastic hysteresis." It appears now that this hysteresis is characteristic of the apparatus used by Hanson, since a slight modification abolishes this hysteresis.

The Zeeman Effect On The Hyperfine Structure Of Optically Excited Mercury Resonance Radiation, E. Hobart Collins

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Optically excited mercury resonance radiation was used as a light source to provide the sharpest possible hyperfine structure lines of Hg. 2537. This light source was placed in magnetic fields varying from zero to 2000 gauss. A lummer plate and a camera with a special quartz lens was used to secure the Zeeman hyperfine structure patterns. The patterns were analyzed by the newly installed micro photometer of the State University of Iowa. The measurements and theoretical interpretations are given.

Position Of The Vibrator In The Experiments Of Melde And Kundt, B. J. Miller, L.O. Olsen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

There is evident a fairly general misunderstanding of the location of the vibrator with respect to the nodes and loops in the string or air column in Melde's and Kundt's experiments. It is the purpose of this paper to call attention to the correct view; namely that for small damping, the vibrator is at an approximate node.

Physical Development Of Photographic Plates, George Higgins

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Physical development of photographic plates is not as efficient as chemical development. While it produces very fine grain negatives, longer exposure than normal is required and plates must be developed an hour to produce satisfactory printing densities. pH of the developer is important.

A Study Of Some Of The Modern Natural Color Photographic Processes, P. H. Carr

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The following additive processes have been investigated: Agfacolor, Dufaycolor, and Finlay. Conclusions are based largely upon experience obtained in the practical use of the processes. The two subtractive processes investigated were Eastman Wash-Off Relief and Defender Chromatone. Here a systematic attempt has been made to analyze the factors which control the results and to eliminate difficulties by some method of control.

Effect Of Previous Training On Grades In Elementary Physics, E. C. Mccracken

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study has been made of the relationship between the grades received by students in an elementary course in Physics taken by Home Economics students at Iowa State College and the general high school average of the students. If the college course is taken during the student's first quarter in college a comparison of the curves expressing this relationship for pupils who have had a high school physics course and for pupils who have had no previous physics course shows that there is a particular high school general average below which there is no advantage in having had a previous …

Apparatus For Measuring Young's Modulus At Small Strains, James A. Van Allen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A simple, easily constructed apparatus is described for the measurement of Young's Modulus of metal rods or bars under direct longitudinal stress, with total strain as low as 2 X 10^-6 for a specimen of 10 cm. length. The extension of the specimen is magnified by a system consisting of two mechanical and two optical levers.
