    Vapor Pressure of a pure solvent

    I know that the vapor pressure of a solvent would decrease with a changing concentration if there was an addition of a solute. However, would the vapor pressure change with a changing concentration of the pure solvent (no solute added)?

    Infinite number of energy levels available to an atom

    I'm confused about something. If there are an infinite number of energy levels available to an atom, how and why would an ionization need to take place? The electron always has another energy level to occupy once its energy has been raised.

    Chemistry How much math and physics will I need for physical chemistry?

    Linear algebra isn't necessary. Intro Mechanics and E&M course is barely necessary, as well, IMO.

    Is $17-$18 an Hour Enough for a Chemistry Graduate with Research Experience?

    I'm graduating with a BSc in Chemistry and I've got a couple years academic research experience but no industrial. I'm applying for a lot of Chem I/Lab Tech jobs and I'm planning on requesting between $17 and $18 an hour. Is this too much/too little?

    What Is the Power Ratio in Gaussian Beams Through a Circular Aperture?

    Thanks, L-x. I can see the relationship now. I'm still a little lost on the integrals, though. I know that since the beam's optical axis is z, the cylindrical coordinates (r, theta, z) just become a function of r and theta. I understand the bounds on the integrals and the E^2 portion, but not...

    What Is the Power Ratio in Gaussian Beams Through a Circular Aperture?

    Homework Statement Determine the ratio of the power contained within a circle of radius of w0 (in the transverse plane at z = 0) to the total power in the Gaussian beams of orders (0,0), (1,0), (0,1) and (1,1). Then compare the ratio of the power contained within a circle of radius w0/3 to...

    Why do large particles scatter more light than smaller particles?

    Homework Statement Silly question, I know. I suspect it's because of a wider reflecting angle due to the diameter, but I'm not quite sure. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

    Derivation/origin of two equations

    I've encountered two equations and I'm not sure of their origins. First, there's a differential equation describing the amplitude of a scattered electric field, E=(1/(c^2*r))*dp/dt sin y, where p is the scattered dipole moment and gamma (y) is the angle between the dipole moment and line of...
