In the file 18786to18791m2, we have corrected this error by shifting the central location of this line by 0.0815 cm-1.įor further details about the expected and measured accuracy of the model, and the equations and constants used, please refer to the references listed above. In this wavelength region (between 18787 cm-9 cm-1), we found that the model predicted location of the P181(43,0) line was in error enough to change the shape of the spectrum considerably. The output from this model has been compared to experimental data for wavelengths close to frequency doubled Nd:YAG (532 nm) as discussed in the two references listed above. P is the vapor pressure in torr, T is the iodine crystal temperature in degrees Celsius, and the log is taken in base ten. It corresponds to excitation from 4d shell to various unfilled orbitals. This formula is from the TRC Thermodynamics Tables (Non-Hydrocarbons), pages k-190 and ka-190. The absorption spectrum from 450000 to 870000 cm-1 (55.8 to 107.9 eV) at low resolution has been described by Myer and Samson, 1970. A useful formula for calculating vapor pressure (cell pressure) from iodine crystal temperature is: This is a two-part experiment consisting of the following parts: Part I. This program asks for information about the cell - temperature, pressure, and length - and generates an output file with cell transmission as a function of wavenumber, over the wavenumber range specified. This output file is given a name by you and is used as input for the second program, i2spec4. The first program, i2lines2, generates an output file which contains information about the transitions in the wavenumber region specified. "fcfioded" is a data file used by the program i2lines2, and "18786to18791m2" is an intermediate file (output from i2lines2, input to i2spec4) which has been modified as described below.
#Iodine absorption spectrum code
f extensions are the FORTRAN source code files for the programs entitled "i2lines2" and "i2spec4". The files required are called "i2lines2.f", "i2spec4.f", "fcfioded", and "18786to18791m2" The first two files with. of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University, 1996) J.N.Forkey, "Development and demonstration of filtered Rayleigh scattering - a laser based flow diagnostic for planar measurement of velocity, temperature and pressure," Ph.D. Miles, "Corrected and calibrated I2 absorption model at frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser wavelengths," Applied Optics, Vol. The electronic absorption spectrum of molecular iodine has become a standard experiment in the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory course (16 ). This directory contains the files required to run the molecular iodine absorption spectrum model which is described in the following references: It's hard to tell for sure if the plant will photosynthesize enough to thrive under green light, but it definitely will at least a little.This is the README from the set of files used to run Forkey's iodine absorption spectrum code. The blues are second, and green comes in last. Red light is the most important, as chlorophyll a, the most common type, absorbs light best in the red area of the spectrum. It was of interest therefore to investigate the spectral characteristcs, especially the absorption spectrum of iodine vapour, while under excitation productive. Under a monochromatic light source, the plants obviously wouldn't do as well. Green light, for some reason, penetrates better into lower-lying leaves and allows them to photosynthesize better. It turns out that green light is actually very useful for plants, and although it is the most reflected light it does serve a purpose, with the plant still managing to use most of the green light thrown at it. Scientists can create "action spectrums" that show what wavelengths of light result in the most oxygen produced (to measure the amount of photosynthesis). No pigment really absorbs green light best, which is why its reflected and most plants are green or greenish. Laser absorption spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating the iodine molecule, allowing high precision spectra datasets. Iodine absorption lines have been used as calibration as well as references for lasers. If a plant has more carotene, for example, it would better absorb orange light. The iodine molecule presents a vast number of absorption lines in the nearinfrared/visible spectrum. Different types of pigments absorb different wavelengths of light, and some plants have more of one type than others. (Dated: July 10, 2015) When optically excited, iodine absorbs in the 490- to 650-nm visible region of the spectrum and,after radiative relaxation, it displays an emission spectrum of discrete vibrational bands at moderateresolution.

Interesting question! Whether the plant would be able to live or not depends both upon the plant itself and the wavelength of the light.
